Finding research filters for study designs

Event Description

Search filters are sets of search terms designed to find studies of a specific design. They are an essential tool in searching for evidence. Filters may be sensitive/broad and are useful in identifying studies for evidence syntheses such as systematic reviews and in guideline development. The ISSG Search Filter Resource (ISSG SFR) has been developed to improve awareness of methodological search filters and to provide information on how to critically appraise filters. The site continues to introduce developments and new features. This webinar will review the purpose of search filters and show how the ISSG Search Filter Resource can support you in identifying, choosing and critiquing search filters.
