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 SYSTEMATIC SEARCH STRATEGIES

Our focus is on developing and validating the search strategies at the core of systematic reviews.

 

  • We help researchers identify all relevant studies and support journals in setting high standards for evidence completeness. 
  • Design and translate complex search strategies 
  • Peer-review search methods (using PRESS and related standards) 
  • Train researchers in advanced search techniques 
  • Help journals assess search rigor during peer review 
  • Support compliance with PRISMA and evidence synthesis standards

 

For researchers

  • Capture the Full Evidence Base
  • We work directly with researchers to ensure their search strategies are comprehensive, reproducible, and tailored to their research question. 
  • Strategy development for multiple databases
  • Translation and optimization across platforms 
  • Grey literature inclusion 
  • Full documentation for transparency and peer review

 

For Journals

  • Publish Reviews You—and Readers—Can Trust 

  • You don’t conduct reviews—but you do decide which ones are worthy of publication.

  • We help you ensure the reviews you publish meet high methodological standards.

  • Independent peer-review of search strategies 

  • Editorial support to evaluate completeness and rigor 

  • Author resources for submitting stronger reviews 

  • Confidence that reviews reflect all available evidence

 

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.

Selection of databases

We have access and expertise in searching databases including but not limited to :

- Embase.com

- Medline via OVID OR PubMed

-Cochrane Library

- Web of Science

- ProQuest dessertation

- Clinical trial registries (e.g., ICTRP)

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.
