Dear Maribel Labrado-Antolín

Focus on core absenteeism terms like "absenteeism," "absence," "absentee," "absentee rate," and "non-attendance." Combine these with remote work identifiers such as "remote work," "telework," "telecommuting," "virtual work," "work from home," "WFH," "home-based work," "distributed work," and "flexible work arrangements." Also include broader context terms like "workplace attendance," "presenteeism" (for contrast), and "employee attendance" to capture related discussions. Consider specific absence types using modifiers like "sickness absence," "unauthorized absence," or "short-term absence."

Incorporate keywords related to influencing factors: "remote work challenges," "isolation," "burnout," "well-being," "mental health," "engagement," "supervision," "monitoring," "work-life balance," "boundary management," "technology issues," and "communication barriers." Add methodological terms for systematic reviews: "systematic review," "literature review," "meta-analysis," and search operators (e.g., Boolean terms like AND/OR/NOT). Filter by setting using "workplace," "organization," "employees," "knowledge workers," or "professional workers." If relevant, include "COVID-19" or "pandemic" as temporal context. Use database-specific subject headings (e.g., MeSH in PubMed) where applicable.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Felix Oscar, it certainly helps. Very direct and straight to our research question. We will consider these suggestions for sure!

Dear Maribel Labrado-Antolín Madam,

If you’re developing a systematic literature review on absenteeism during remote work, I’d recommend structuring your search equation to capture three main areas:

1. Core Concepts & Variations

Include the main absenteeism-related terms and their variations:

• absenteeism
• work absence
• employee absence
• sickness absence
• attendance
• “sick leave”
• “leave of absence”

2. Remote Work Context & Synonyms

Make sure to cover all the common terms used for remote work:

• “remote work”
• “work from home” OR WFH
• “telework” OR “teleworking”
• “telecommute” OR “telecommuting”
• “virtual work”
• “distributed work”
• “online work”
• “home-based work”
• “flexible work”
• “hybrid work”

3. Boolean Structure Example

You could use a search equation like this (adjust to each database’s syntax):

• Absenteeism OR "work absence" OR "employee absence" OR "sickness absence" OR "sick leave" OR attendance
• "Remote work" OR "work from home" OR WFH OR telework OR teleworking OR telecommute OR telecommuting OR "virtual work" OR "distributed work" OR "home-based work" OR "flexible work" OR "hybrid work"

I’d also suggest the exact search strings for those databases so you can plug them in directly. That would save time in the testing phase.

I hope this will be Helpful for you

Thank you, Maribel Labrado-Antolín Madam have a Great day, #Namaste
