Best 3 secrets:
1. Find a systematic review already completed and mine the results. Check every sources references you find as well.
2. Track keywords.
3. Many search engines have related articles.
To save time when conducting a systematic literature review, use the following techniques, tools, and methods:
1. Define Clear Objectives: Clearly outline the research questions and inclusion/exclusion criteria.
2. Use Reference Management Software: Tools like EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley help organize and manage references efficiently.
3. Automate Searches: Use databases like PubMed, Scopus, or Web of Science to set up automatic search alerts.
4. Screen Abstracts First: Quickly eliminate irrelevant studies by screening abstracts before full texts.
5. Use PRISMA Guidelines: Follow the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist for a structured approach.
6. Employ Text Mining Tools: Tools like Rayyan or Covidence can help in screening and data extraction.
7. Collaborate: Divide tasks among team members to parallelize the workload.
