  • 1.  Help: Living SR

    Posted Apr 12, 2022 02:01 PM

    Dear ESIG,

    (Apologies for duplication; cross-posting to MLA SR caucus.)

    Does anyone have experience with a Living Systematic Review (LSR) on a topic where the publication rate is very rapid? I am trying to hash out the timeline for a LSR on an (interventional) educational research question. The topic generates a lot of literature, say >1000 citations/year (probably substantially more than that), and we'll be starting with a 4-5 year backlog.

    I am trying to conceptualize and predict how long it will take us to catch up on this backlog.

    Also, at what point in TIAB screening do some team members branch off and start full text screening?*

    If anyone has any advice for me or can share their experience with a fast-paced LSR, I'd be most grateful!

    Cheers,
    Jane
