Search smarter. Review Stronger.

 

 

 

 

We support researchers in developing high quality and standard search strategies and help journals ensure the reviews they publish are comprehensive, transparent, and reliable.

What we do

Experts in developing systematic search strategies

We focus on developing and validating the search strategies at the heart of systematic reviews. We help researchers identify all relevant studies and support journals in establishing high standards for the completeness of the evidence base.

 

  • Develop and translate complex search strategies

  • Evaluate strategies against recognized standards

  • Train researchers in advanced search techniques

  • Help journals assess the rigor of searches during peer review

  • Support compliance with PRISMA (as reporting guidance) and evidence synthesis standards

For researchers

  • Cover the full body of evidence
  • Direct collaboration with researchers to ensure complete, reproducible search strategies tailored to their research question
  • Development of strategies for multiple databases
  • Translation and optimization across different platforms
  • Inclusion of grey literature
  • Complete documentation for transparency and peer review

 

For journals

  • Publish reliable reviews — for you and your readers

  • Independent evaluation of search strategies

  • Editorial support to assess completeness and rigor

  • Resources for authors to strengthen the quality of submissions

  • Assurance that reviews reflect the full range of available data

Why It Matters

 

A systematic review is only as good as the studies it includes. If relevant evidence is missed, conclusions may be biased or misleading. That’s why we focus on the foundation: designing and verifying search strategies that find everything that matters.

 

Protocol writing and registration

Together with researchers, we help in writing and registering protocols of systematic reviews and/or scoping reviews.

Translation of search strategies

We translate and adapt your search strategies across different platforms and databases to ensure consistent and reproducible results.

Search strategies development

We help researchers develop search strategies for all types of reviews. We also revise or peer-review search equations in manuscripts submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
