2024-03-252024-03-2520123Supporting systematic, scoping and other types of reviews: Workshops and services offered by the Medical Library at Charité
http://ojs.eahil.eu/ojs/index.php/JEAHIL/article/view/605
<p>Medical Libraries have become central in evidence synthesis conduct – an evolving field. The Medical Library at Charité initiated Systematic/Scoping Reviews, an eight-part workshop series designed to provide comprehensive education and guidance on systematic and scoping review methods. Each session covers a specific step of the review process and offers participants who are conducting a review active engagement in these methodological steps using their own review question. This article provides a summary of each workshop session, outlining preparation requirements, workshop content, and challenges faced by both learners and the teaching team. The course has been well received by participants and has proven to be a valuable complement to the other health information literacy trainings offered by the Medical Library.</p>Corinna DresslerMeghan R Forrest

http://ojs.eahil.eu/ojs/index.php/JEAHIL/article/view/607
<p>Deduplication methods for multiple database searches conducted for evidence syntheses differ in terms of time invested, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of identified duplicates. Deduplication tools can significantly contribute to a more efficient conduct of the search task in evidence syntheses. Widely-used tools for deduplication include reference management software (e.g. EndNote), built-in deduplication features in systematic review software (e.g. Covidence, Rayyan), and automated deduplication tools (e.g. Deduklick, SRA Deduplicator). Newer tools leverage machine learning algorithms crafted by information specialists, that encompass natural language normalization and rule-based approaches. We investigated five frequently used automated and semi-automated deduplication tools regarding their performance, core features and time efficiency in comparison to manual deduplication in EndNote using six datasets.</p>Heidrun JankaMaria-Inti Metzendorf

2024-03-172024-03-17201121710.32384/jeahil20607Brief Communication – concerning algorithmic indexing in MEDLINE
http://ojs.eahil.eu/ojs/index.php/JEAHIL/article/view/604
<p>As of early 2022, indexing in the National Library of Medicine [NLM] MEDLINE database is performed by an algorithm, MTIA [Medical Text Indexer-Auto], with human curation as appropriate. Deployment of a machine learning classifier, MTIX [Medical Text Indexer-neXt generation] is planned for mid-2024. This brief communication outlines the processes of MTIA and raises concerns about the MeSH [Medical Subject Headings] applied by algorithm. Implications for searchers and educators are briefly discussed.</p>Alexandre Amar-ZifkinTaline EkmekjianVirginie PaquetTara Landry

2024-03-172024-03-17201182110.32384/jeahil20604An Overview of Information Instruction in Hospital Libraries in Spain
http://ojs.eahil.eu/ojs/index.php/JEAHIL/article/view/603
<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Information instruction is essential to providing support for clinical care, teaching and research in hospitals. In the international literature, little has been published about this function of hospital libraries in Spain. This study examines the education activities of Spanish hospitals.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A questionnaire about staff, education activities and institutional recognition was distributed via email to Spanish hospital libraries. The data was analysed in February 2023.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 84% of libraries provide education activities. The average number education staff is 1.3. Common instruction topics are database searching, citations, researcher identity and scientific journals (quality, impact and publication standards). 83% of libraries are part of the undergraduate medical curriculum, 67% are involved in graduate medical education, and 30% are part of the institutional research plan.</p>María Sobrido-PrietoAlice M StokesUxía Gutiérrez-CoutoAntonia María Fernández-Luque
