KSR Information Specialists understand the importance of undertaking timely and thorough literature searching, delivered in a systematic, transparent and reproducible way. We ensure our methods represent best current evidence-based practice in information retrieval.
Our experience
We have many years’ experience developing, executing and documenting systematic, transparent and reproducible literature searches for systematic reviews, health technology assessments, economic evaluations, scoping studies, clinical guidelines, and other large scale research projects, including reviews of diagnostics and adverse events.
We have access to a wide range of bibliographic databases in the field of health and social care, including MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library, as well as subject specific databases such as CINAHL and PsycInfo.
We understand the importance of grey literature searching, and are experienced in identifying conference proceedings, organisational and government reports, health technology assessment publications, clinical trial registries, regulatory documentation, statistical data and other unpublished evidence, as appropriate to the objectives of each project.
