Hi all ! I have a question about using AI search tools for searching. See near bottom of this email.
I apologize for lengthy email.
Background: I am working on a "rapid scoping review" on a topic in "theoretical & philosophical psychology". My "goal" has been/is to create a *search to support an initial "map" of the overlap of three broad areas: a. free will, b. AI, and c. the Chinese room argument. Right now I am mostly focused on creating a "search "strategy for the project. Creating an *initial map based on that will be another part of the project.
The results from this initial search work will be used in a poster accepted for this meeting in April. If interested in the current status of the project, you can see this OSF site: https://osf.io/t43xs/
Of course I am going to be monitoring and working to fully record the steps I actually take for searching. So far I am using EBSCO databases (APA PsycInfo, Philosophers Index, Computers & Applied Sciences Complete, Computer Source), ACM Digital Library, and Google Scholar (via Publish or Perish). And I am working on a protocol that I will be using. I may also include PhilPapers, PsyArXiv, PhilArchive, and PhilSci-Archive) in the search. That said, I do not intend to be "comprehensive". Rather, I hope to create a product (systematic search for the rapid scoping review) that can be valuable. The product, in turn, could possibly serve as basis for a fuller Scoping review, etc.
QUESTION(S): For ideas to supplement my traditional search planning for a "rapid scoping review", does anyone have a *workflow* that they *have *used (or might suggest) that I could consider or adapt for incorporating AI tools such as Research Rabbit, etc. in search plan ? What used, when, how, why ? Issues ? Concerns ? Challenges ? Recommendations ?
Additional note: If anyone would be willing to do peer review of my search strategy when I post it to OSF, that would be great….just email me at this address -> pfehrma1@kent.edu
I hope this is clear. Anyway, I would appreciate anything that anyone might share on my question.
