Mermaids would actually look like in real life. First off, they probably wouldn't be the size of a human. Sorry, Ariel. They'd need to be smaller and stronger to make it in the deep sea, though they would have a strong muscular tail. And to keep warm, mermaids would need a thick skin, possibly with a layer of blubber. Also, despite what trolls might say on the internet, they would be more likely to have darker skin. Well, either dark or transparent, to aid with camouflage and low light conditions. Also, imagine large glowing eyes, gills, and sharp teeth. And because of sonar-like hearing, they wouldn't really need human-like ears. So yeah, a real life mermaid would probably look less like this, or this, and more like this.


And, Rebecca, since you're just joining us, Paul will not be at the meeting today, nor will Catherine Porter. Okay, I think the folks who are here are here. I don't know. Elizabeth is anybody from the outside tuning in. Can you tell. Okay, there's nobody besides the five of us. Okay. Fabulous five. Let's rock and roll here. So opening remarks and announcements. I don't really have any other than one of the items of the business down under new business, which is to say Yahoo. We have. We have a new HR director ready to be approved. I don't have was she officially approved or she have to be officially approved by the town council. Is that all happened. She was approved on Monday night by the town council. And we'll be starting I think it's December 19. Yes. Right. So, but we'll still add. Maybe we can say a little bit more about, about her when we get to that point. Does anybody have any announcements that you would like to make. Otherwise, and there doesn't seem to be any public ready to comment. So, let's move down to the new business which is update on recruitment of human resources director. And Rebecca, since you were on that committee. Maybe you could say a few words about. Yeah. Um, I apologize for being late this morning I, I have COVID. And I'm like, we just tested this morning and it's positive and it's in my house and I'm just like trying to like I was trying to reschedule classes for tomorrow and like, so. Yeah, but we're safe through zoom. So that's good. The search committee was a work was great. And we had strong candidates and had diverse candidates and I am personally that was like the person we got is the person I definitely wanted so I'm really happy that it turned out that way but I would have to agree with the other ones as well. They were strong candidates so Melissa comes from Berkshire Community College and she went to UMass so I just really liked that. She, she vibes in the university town atmosphere and then has all the law and, you know, you need experience and very well qualified and great personality. So, I think we're very fortunate. So, okay, are you very sorry that we have found a new HR director. Nobody's better than Kay. I am absolutely delighted. And I echo Rebecca's feeling about Melissa I thought she was fantastic. I'm really looking forward to working with her. She was asking Paul when he and I met with her that if there was going to be a mentor and he volunteered me so. Good. Well, we certainly know from hard unfortunate experience we do need to do whatever we can to help this new hire work out. And the productive and happy inner job and effective. Yes, that seems to be the challenge for the town to to keep all this wonderful talent that we have. She's definitely going to want outlets to be public facing ish. Yeah, we did we did we we say we need to do we can to support and I just don't not exactly sure what that is exactly. But she's, I hope she like every other manager person working in the town is going to need a team, like her team, energetic team. So whatever who ever those people are not her supervisor, not her supervisees, but her intellectual team, because she's had that at Berkshire Community College and really loved it, and needs it. So, that's what I think about when I think about support for her who's her team, who's her generative team feedback. And that's a, do you think the personnel board, or any of us might lend an extra hand in that regard, you know, should we. Yeah, I think the personnel board be a great place because it's not just a place for, I don't know, reporting and getting feedback on specific ideas but if we saw it like that or treated it like that, we're your team, we're your team, or one of your teams. Yeah. And what about some of these. I mean, usually when somebody is brought on board and then they need a mentor and somebody to watch out for them. It's usually sort of a long standing person who really knows the ropes but I'm thinking about a couple of our very recent new hires. Like, Earl, for example, or Pam, because they just came out well he, they came on board relatively recently. And so they have recently experienced what she's about to experience when she comes on board. Yeah, that's great. Great. You know, and especially thinking about reporting relationships. Who Earl reports directly to Paul, is that right, or does this. Right, and Melissa will report directly to Paul. Yes. But I foresee her and Pamela working very closely together, which is a new situation because we haven't had a DEI director in the past. Right. And Pamela is a very collaborative way of working. So I see that as a good match. Well, I'll repeat what I said, Yipi and congratulations to the search committee job well done when I saw Paul's initial memo, describing the candidate's backgrounds and qualifications I said, Wow, nailed it again. Good job. And so we just want to make sure this good hire stays around for a while. And I'm going to work as hard as I can to make sure that happens and I hope I'm sure the rest of us will do that also. So, working down on our agenda for the next item under new business is discussion of the part time wage scale. This has been an agenda item for a while and I want to thank Kay very much for sending us the proposal to make an adjustment for the part time wage scale. And which hasn't been, I guess, adjusted for quite a while. And so you want to say a little bit more about that Kay. When we steady substance he did the class, the job description of the classification study and recommended a table that we essentially expected to last three years and we did the last implementation in July by moving to the $15 minimum wage. But when that table was developed, the other levels were all essentially the same throughout the past three years. And we don't have that many people that are at the top of the level. I think there's like six or seven. But just like the non union scale or any of our scales that once you reach the top, there's nowhere to go. And with the non union scales, they have a cola that gets applied. I think we learned our lesson when we applied a cola to the part time scale, a number of years ago that that wasn't necessarily the best way to deal with the part time. And even though that's been suggested. I thought if we just added a step a drop to step that that might be a more acceptable way of dealing with those people that ever have been at the top of the scale. I did that in each of the next two fiscal years. I think it's, you don't need to necessarily approve the one effective in 2024 because that one is not in the budget process but they're starting the budget process for July of 23. So if we could at least have that one settled fairly soon they'll be able to do the budgeting for it. So, it's just an idea if someone else has another idea, you know, it's, we're certainly open to it. Yep. Well, it looks sensible to me. And the rest of you, it's, it's basically a 3% adjustment. Right. Yeah, no, it looks reasonable to me and me too. I like getting ahead of the game and being early on it and right, right thing to do. I just wanted to ask Kay mentioned there aren't too many at the top of the scale already, but are most of those in the library. Yes, yes, right. So, I think five or six of them are in the library. So the majority of those that are at the top.  Right. So people like election workers, we would probably move back a step or something of that nature because they tend not to keep up with doing increases for for the election workers. So that, you know, that might be one of the areas that's adjusted somewhat, but for the most part, like the library employees would just stay on the step that they're on and get the 3% bump. Yep. Well, let's, I agree with what you said about election workers, although and thank heavens Amherst is not yet a town where election workers might be eligible for hazardous pay duty. Yeah, really. Otherwise, some adjustments might need to be made. Yeah, for them. And I'm glad we're able to do something for the folks at the top of the scale, especially those long-serving folks in the library or part-timers who are very important to keeping it running as well as it's running. So, other thoughts, observations about this, because I'm ready if someone would like to make a motion to approve the 20. It's that's what is it 2023 fiscal year. Part-time wage scale as presented by case low gar. I hear a motion to that effect. I second. All right, any further discussion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. All right. That was all three of us. So the motion passes. Hey, now do we do anything about 2024 now. Let me just say we could but something about how we need to get that would be too far ahead. I was going to say no. Yeah, I don't want to think about 2024 now. Yeah, right. I just hope the economy and inflation has, you know, roaring ahead at a scary pace. But I don't I think no harm is done by holding off now on the FY 2024. Yeah. I don't think we're ready to go. All right. When, when it seems more sensible to. Right. It can be brought back next year. Yeah. If we still want to do it. Yep. So again, thank you very much for getting that in front of us. This morning. Okay. Appreciate it. And now on the agenda. We're down to old business staffing report. And that has been sent around. Anybody want to point out anything of interest on that? I can just. Yeah. I was just going to point out that we had four people resign. A police officer, a firefighter, a DPW electrician and a planner. And then we hired. Five for police patrol officers. And a facility maintenance worker. Yeah. So that's a lot of hiring for the police department. Yes. I assume. Those folks. I want to, I did notice that of the four people who resigned to were not exactly around for a long time. They're like two years of service and they're gone. And then is there any. Do we know why they left? Is there any problem? Is the town happy that they resigned? Or did. I mean, the usual explanation is they got a much better paying job somewhere else. Well, the person that was the electrician moved to Tennessee. The. Firefighter was a basic firefighter that was hired for COVID. And I don't believe that he was. Currently pursuing a paramedic degree. So. He probably would have. Been gone at some point. Because we typically hire paramedics to begin with, but. When the people were hired temporarily for COVID. It was, we hired anybody we could get essentially. So, and he was previously on the student force. So he was no quantity, but. And then. The. Ben burger went to mass DOT. As a planner. And. Matthew Selmink went to the town of Irving as a police officer. Okay. All right. Well, let's hope this new crew. Works out. And. This is. Who women hired in the police department. That's great. Hispanic woman is one of the two. And the others are our good old trustee white males. Who are wonderful people to have in the town along with all the. Yes. That's right. Nothing against those folks at all. Any other comments about the staffing report. Tony, I just want to say, I appreciate. I appreciate your. Attention to detail and questions that you ask. I just want to say, I'm always. I just, I'm always, I'm just always happy. You're chairing this committee and. You asked the questions that you asked. No, really. Like that's a good pickup, like to look at how many years, how long were they there? And just to ask about it. I just appreciate it. Well, thank you. Since I'm the, the chair of the board, I figure somebody better. Works with some care. When I appreciate. Thank you. Thank you. Now, speaking of a careful reading. Next item is approving the minutes. Oh boy. Meeting. But you're not going to hear anything from me because I already saw a prior version of these. And a little teeny tiny. They've all been taken care of, but. How about the rest of you? I moved to approve them. I did read them. Thank you very much. I second. There is second. Any discussion. All in favor say aye. Sounds unanimous to me. Next personnel board meeting is a schedule, I think with the question mark for Wednesday, December the 14th. I'm assuming there will be stuff for us to. To talk about, although we did something fairly important today with the, with the pace with the wage scale for part timers. And I think that would mean our new HR director will not yet be officially on board. Right. She'll. Yeah. She won't start until the 19th. So. I don't know if you want to delay. Well, that's what I'm thinking out loud. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Could we delay and have the meeting be with her. 21st. That would be her third day on the job. I won't be here. Okay. That's okay. If there's everyone else's. Okay. Okay. Is she going to be in shape to, to just make an appearance at least at the, at the personnel board meeting. On her third day, you know, she just. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure. I mean, it might be better to. Skip December and go to January. Well. I disagree. I. Only because I met her twice. And I think if even if it was just a friendly. We're here. We're the airs personnel board. We are so psyched. Right. And here we want to get on the radar with you. I don't want to come in after the fact. I want to be on the front end with her. Well, then let's. Yeah. I don't want to be on the front end. It's a busy week. It's a holiday week, but that's invited to spend a few minutes and have a cup of coffee with the personnel board. Yeah. I'm the 21st. And. So not everybody's here on the 21st. Is that right? But. Yes, I will not be here. Can't make it. And let's. Even if just a couple of us could even. We're limping along now or let's assume. To make it and Paul and. And so I like that idea of shoving it back and let's hope it doesn't, you know, put too much pressure on. Melissa. And we will be sorry to miss you. Tammy. Hopefully get to meet her later. And Kate, thank you for helping out. Yeah. Oh, no problem. It's been wonderful. Something tells me you, you may be stepping down as the interim, but you're going away. I don't think you're. No, I don't have any plans to go away. Hey, I want you to know if I had reaction buttons in zoom, I would be. Putting up a heart or a celebration thing. I don't have reaction buttons. You can, you can clap. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done. Yes. You're here. So are there anything, is there anything else we should be talking about? Big decisions, small decisions, no decisions. How about a decision to adjourn? I make a motion to adjourn. A second. All right. We're out of here. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. The Government of India has decided to move amendments in the General Insurance Business Nationalization Act, which will lead to privatization of the four general insurance companies. This will adversely affect the general public, which relies on the public sector general insurance companies and the recruitment in the future with mass privatization. To discuss more about this, we have with us Mr. Anand, the General Secretary of South Stone General Insurance Employees Association. Welcome sir. So to begin with, what are the provisions which you oppose in this act and what is the reason to oppose this act? Because the general insurance companies have lot of role to play in the country and to the public. Yeah, and now I want to say that the employees and officers in general insurance industry are on a war path. We have not waged a war, it is a war that is waged against us by the Government of India. A war that is waged against the people of this country by the Government of India. A Government of India has decided to amend the General Insurance Business Nationalization Act 1972, where ordinance was passed in 1971 to nationalize 107 private insurance companies. There were 107 private insurance companies in the year 1971 and the Government of India then Government of India decided to nationalize because there are lot of fraudulent activities that were taking place. Corporate houses were operating in general insurance at that time. Nata was there, Berla was there, TVS was there. You name any company in India, big corporates in India, they were owning the company prior to 1971 also. They were indulging in lot of fraudulent activities. That is why it was nationalized in 1971. These companies are also operating now after the liberalization policies and the market was opened up to the private insurance companies. They also started their operation in 2001 and they are also now in operation. But before 1971, because of the fraudulent activities, it was nationalized. Now an amendment has come. In 2015-16, they brought one amendment and said that after 1971, there are four companies who are established out of the 107 companies. They made it as four companies, public sector general insurance companies and they were national insurance company, New India insurance company, Oriental insurance company, United India insurance company, headquartered at Kolkatta, New India from Bombay, Oriental from Delhi, United India from Chennai. And now in 2016, they brought one amendment in that Jibna Act. They made a small change in that act and brought a section 10B which speaks of 51% holding of the government of India and it talks that 49% can be sold out to the private parties. That is the first amendment that was brought in in the Jibna Act. So that pays way for the privatization of the public sector general insurance companies. So about at that time itself, government said 51% should be with the government strike should be at least 51% and balance can be sold out. It should not be less than 51%. Now the amendment has come that the 10B class which talks about 51% holding of the government that is completely omitted. The section itself is taken away from the act. That means the government can sell 100% of the shares to the private insurance companies or to any corporate people. That is why we are opposing because it is a total privatization, wholesale privatization aimed at selling all the four public sector general insurance companies as well as GAC reinsurance companies. That is why we are opposing it. The story before 1971 continues now also. Now one or two years back, big insurance companies, big private insurance companies like Reliance Health, LNT General, Apollo Munoz have closed the doors and merged with the other private insurance companies. So the story continues. The story of pre 1971 continues now also. What are the outcomes of this privatization move to the common public because these four are the general insurance companies, public sector companies. They have a lot of customers and what will the impact on them? Actually these general insurance companies are operating since 1971. Till 2000, when the market was open for the private insurance companies, there were a lot of schemes, social sector schemes, which we are giving free of cost. For example, if a person in a rural place, if he died due to a snake bite, or if he met with an accident falling from a tree and other things, we used to pay 2000 rupees, 3000 rupees to the person, even though he did not pay any premium, zero rupees, we did not collect any premium from them. Just a declaration and certificate from the VOO, we will be paying some amount to the deceased family. Likewise, if an artist burned or any fire accident took place, then we used to pay 5000 rupees to the families. These are we have paid it from our resources to the people, rural people, in order to bring them in the social state also. But now what is happening is after 2000, we could not sustain these social sector policies because our hands are also tied and we also want to compete with the private insurance companies. But after privatization, after the private companies were allowed also, we could not function very independently. The government asked us to implement various social sector schemes, such as Prime Minister Suraksha Bhima Yojana scheme, a scheme introduced by the Prime Minister of this country, current Prime Minister, who introduced this policy for a rupees, 12 rupees premium. If you have an account in the bank, any public sector bank or private sector bank, if you're an account holder, you have to just write a given letter to the bank manager that I am interested to opt for this policy, Prime Minister Suraksha Bhima Yojana policy and you can debit 12 rupees from an account every year, every year. A tea cost today, a glass of tea today costs 15 rupees to 20 rupees. Whereas a policy is given for 12 rupees per year and the sum introduced is 2 lakh rupees. If the person, the account holder dies due to an accident, he gets, the family gets 2 lakh rupees as a compensation. And this policy, we have issued for 17 crore Indians of this country, 17 crore Indians who have the bank account or who are the account holders of various banks. And this is a very cheap policy, subsidized policy and the claims ratio is around 350%. That means for 17 crores, we collected 200 crores premium, but we are paying a claim of around 750 crores to claim from our pocket. That means a huge loss for us. 350% is a huge loss for us. But is the government compensating for this? No, zero compensation. The government is not paying even 1 rupee from his kitty, from their kitty to the general insurance companies. The private companies are not doing these policies. 92% of these policies are underwritten by the public sector general insurance companies and not the private insurance companies. The Aishman Bharat, the government claimed that it is going to be a game changer in the 2019 election. The health insurance scheme that the government with big advertisements in the newspaper, they introduced this Aishman Bharat, health insurance scheme. And today we are covering near about 40 crore people of this country through this health insurance scheme and 95% of the scheme is covered by the public sector general insurance company. The private insurance companies are not participating. The crop insurance, Vassal Bhima Yojana, the government public sector general insurance companies are doing it. We are incurring huge loss in it, but we are happy that we are paying to our farmers. We are happy that we are paying to the presence of this country who are already suffering because of the various enactments, the acts that have been brought in. So we are happy that we are paying to our own farmers. But why the private companies are not doing it? Why the government is not pulling the private companies? The Corona war years, the frontline workers policies that they introduced, 50 lakhs covered to the Corona war years, frontline workers, we have already paid 1000 claims. That means 500 crores have already been given to the Corona war years. The private insurance companies are not doing it. And where do they spend? They spend huge amount. If you go and see the IRD account, public disclosure account of the private insurance companies, out of the total expenses, if it is 3000 crores, around 1600 crores, 1700 crores, is shown as marketing expenses, advertisement and publicity expenses. They are not spending for the subsidy schemes or social sector schemes. They have shown it as advertisement and publicity expenses. 3000 crores, 50 to 60% advertisement publicity expenses. Whereas public sector insurance company, if you see the IRD report, out of the total expense of 3000 crores, our advertisement publicity is 30 crores, 10 crores, 5 crores, just 1% or half a percent of the expenses. Whereas they are spending 50% of the expenses for advertisement publicity. So there are huge scams that are taking place, huge irregularities that are taking place. We do not know what the regulator is doing, but we are concerned because this publicity insurance company is providing cover to 50 crores of people of this country. Ordinary people of this country. So this should be protected. That is why we are in the States now. It is not the protection of job, it is not the protection of our salary. It is the protection of the insurance coverage for the ordinary people of this country. That is why we are worried more. So that being said, in 1972 the bill became an act for nationalizing the general insurance company. This is the 50th anniversary of the nationalization. So exactly after 50 years, you are going back a huge step. So what will be the impact of this on employment, as you said, and the future of the people who have subscribed to this insurance policies? It will definitely have a direct impact on the employment of the general insurance industry. Because right now we are around 53,000 employees working in the four publicity insurance companies.  Now recruitment is stopped. Sensing this government anticipated this move. So they stopped recruitment in the general insurance industry also. They are not going to recruit any new number of employees in the near future also. And number two, why a lot of people are there, unemployed people, we are not going to recruit them number one. Number two, this IPO, if they say IPO earlier, they said 51% government holding will be there. When we said it is a privatization, they said no, no, it is not a privatization. It's a public participation. They used a very good word that it is a public participation only, not privatization. But at that time, even at that time also, there was a guaranteed for the reservation and other things because 51% was in the government and the public sector characteristic was not lost. It was an instrumentality of state at that time also. But now with the Ghibna Act amendment, 100% if you are going to sell their company means, it will no longer be an instrumentality of state. Then where is the question of reservation? So where is the question of recruitment? All these things will definitely have a native. And as far as public are concerned, the public comes to the insurance company, publicity insurance company for taking insurance office cattle. It's cow, it's goat, hen, pig, everything from A to Z we are giving. And we have branches, 40% of your branches in rural areas. We are penetrated to the rural areas. We have 8,000 branches, 40% are in rural areas. The private insurance companies have only 2% of the branches in rural areas and that too up to tier four only. We have branches up to tier six cities also where the population is less than 5,000. Now if you close our offices, no private insurance companies will open a shop in population less than 5,000. No private insurance company is going to open a office in tier five cities or tier four cities. Then what will happen to the people there? Who will give the insurance coverage to them? They talk of digital, they talk of agency and other things. But what about the ordinary people who is owning just two pairs of cow or goat or pig or sheep? Who will ensure their crop? Who will ensure their agriculture from set? They are not comfortable with the internet and other things. So it is a very difficult job. So we are the people who are going to the rural areas. The government should consider this. The public sector, general insurance companies have done human service to the people of this country. So the government should, they should have a rethink on this. And we are going to take up this issue with the public also because they are going to lose the insurance. So we are going for very vigorous campaign among the publics, pamphlet distribution, state corner meetings and we are going to mobilize a public opinion against this government move to privatize the public sector, general insurance companies. Thank you, sir, for joining us.


Thank you for joining us and I want to tell you a little bit about our speaker, Melissa Rethlison. I know Melissa through the Medical Library Association, we work together on the Public Health and Health Administration section. But she has had a long career. Right now she is the Associate Dean of the Smathers Library and the Facler Director of the Health Science Center Libraries at the University of Florida in Gainesville and she's been doing that since 2018. In her role she also partners with the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the U of F to provide high quality systematic review services to those researchers. Previously she's been several at several and really highly ranked institutions. One is the University of Utah. There she was the section director of the Systematic Review Corps in their CTSA program. She was director of the National Network of the Libraries of Medicine in the Mid-Continental Region, which at the time was based in Utah and well at the Spencer Eccles Library at the University of Utah. She began her career, which I really love, at the Minnesota Department of Health. If I'm right, then she became a librarian and that career started at the University of Minnesota Biomedical Library. Then she stayed in Minnesota but transferred to the Mayo Clinic Libraries in Rochester and the thing to know about Melissa is that she is all about the reproducibility of the systematic review search strategy, which truly as we were just talking it is the essence of systematic reviews. It is at its essence about reproducibility transparency. We have to see what is known in order for us to know what the evidence is and therefore advance it through the kind of work we do as librarians and you do as researchers and graduate students. Melissa is currently leading the development of an extension to the Prisma statement which is devoted to reporting the literature search strategy and that's what she's going to talk about today. I want to put in a public service announcement for her. She is hosting the Research Reproducibility 2020 webinar on December 2nd and 3rd. In the chat, I have her link to both register and a link to the agenda. Melissa, I think it's interesting that on the agenda is a topic geared towards social workers called Towards Reproducible Social Work Research, a graduate course on reproducibility, rigor, and meta science. Also in the chat, I'm going to put in a link to her scholarship in case you'd like to follow her too. You can follow her on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, I don't know which one she prefers the most. But with that, I will let you start, Melissa. All right. Well, thank you for that introduction, Elaine. I will also plug the Research Reproducibility Conference. It was originally scheduled for March 17th in person and in some ways it's so fortunate that we were able to have it canceled because then it prompted us to move it online. And it's really designed to be an interdisciplinary conference focusing on how we can educate our students and ourselves on how to do research more reproducibly. So I would encourage you to take a look if that's something that's of interest to you. The reproducibility of certain strategies, as Elaine said, is something that I'm really interested in and is what led me to hosting these conferences. This is the third conference on research reproducibility that I've actually hosted. So I'm hoping it will be the best yet. And I would encourage you to register if you have any interest in that. All right. So again, thank you, Elaine, for inviting me to do this talk. This is something I'm really interested in. And I think Elaine wrote in the email that she sent out to all of you that I'm hoping that you'll have as much fun as I did putting this together in our conversation here today. And what I'm going to do is talk really about literature search reporting and specifically about using the Prisma S tool. And we'll go through some examples of how Prisma S looks when you're looking at real life strategies to kind of give you a clue as to why currently systematic reviews, which are really developed to be reproducible and transparent and reduce bias, have been falling short, like greatly short, and particularly in the area of literature search strategies. But then we'll get a chance to go through some and hopefully get your ideas on what you think are some of the good, the bad, and the ugly components of reporting some of these search strategies. So thinking about this whole topic, why is it important to even consider transparency and reproducibility of the search strategy component of systematic review? And Elaine already said systematic review searches are really the core methodology of systematic review without information about the SERP. You actually can't assess whether or not that it was done well. You can't reproduce it to see if you can get the same results. And you really just have no clue how a systematic review was done. So systematic reviews is I'm sure that you've learned in some of the previous sessions is a methodology that's developed to have these strict rules and regulations around how the methods are conducted. It's a methods driven methodology. It's not an expert driven methodology. And the search is one of the things that needs to be reproducible and transparent in order to be able to reduce that bias and be able to have people assess it. It also helps in terms of reducing duplicative research. So a lot of times a researcher might be reading an article. It's maybe a systematic review that was published in 2008, let's say. And the researcher wants to update it. Well, you wouldn't be able to update a systematic review unless you were able to actually reproduce the SERP. And so it's these updates that are often really good reasons to have a search that's reproducible, but also not just the updates. But let's say that you are a researcher. You'd see a systematic review that's published. They don't have the details of the search. You can't assess if it's any good or not. Then let's say that you decide, okay, based on the fact that you can't tell if this is introducing bias into the literature, you're going to redo it. And you're going to do it yourself. Because you would be able to trust the methodology that you're going to do better. Well, that means that there might be a lot of effort that was duplicated. If the search is not reported well, even if it was conducted well and designed in a way to reduce bias, it's simply not accessible to the readers and to future researchers who might actually want to utilize that information. So why Prisma Act? As Elaine mentioned, it's an extension to the Prisma statement. And it was really developed for a couple of different reasons. But the first, most importantly, I think was to give guidance to people who are writing systematic reviews and want to make sure that they're the information they're presenting is transparent. It actually came, was largely inspired by a project that I was doing about reproducibility of search strategies. And my colleague Jonathan and I, who are working on this article together, we get into these long debates about whether or not this specific thing was reproducible or not. If it said databases were searched from inception, is that the same as saying what the date range was? If it said that they were searched up until a certain date, are we supposed to ascertain that that's the date that the search occurred? And Jonathan and I would go back and forth and we would have all of these arguments about these small details. But they really were important to trying to figure out what was really truly reproducible and what needed to be available in a manuscript in order to reproduce a systematic review. It's part of our research, but also research that others have done. And if you came in a little early, you heard me talking to Elaine about some of the researchers who worked in this area. But essentially, estimates of true search reproducibility range from about 0.004 percent to maybe 14 percent of systematic reviews that can actually be reproduced. The smaller range or the smaller number was back in about 2008. But you can see it could increase up to 14 percent, but that's still very, very few systematic reviews. And this is all kind of in the medicine and health field are actually reproducible. In other fields, it's actually much worse. More importantly too, it builds on the Prisma reporting guidelines. So Prisma is a guideline that tells you how to report all different aspects of what you're doing in your systematic review from how you write the title to registering a protocol to all the different kinds of things that you've talked about over the past couple of weeks. But one of the things that it has done is list a few things that are related to the search strategy components. But it didn't give enough guidance for people who were new to systematic review methodology, for example, to be able to accurately figure out what they needed to do. So we developed Prisma S. So what is Prisma S? It's a checklist that has 16 different items that you would want to make sure that are accurately reported in your manuscript. And then it has an explanation and elaboration document. So I am going to quick jump to what that looks like. So Prisma S, this is the checklist of 16 different items. It focuses on several different areas, information sources and methods for strategies, peer review, and managing records. And all of these different items are designed to address either reproducibility or transparency in generally both. And I'm not going to go through every single one of these different items that would take us way too long. But I'm going to talk about four different ones momentarily. So the checklist is something that you can work with and you can submit along with your manuscript to make sure that people know that you have done the work of reproducing your strategy. I'm going to click on this. And I'm going to show you what the explanation and elaboration looks like. And this is a very long document. And what it does is it will give you the item, which is this top component right here. And then an example from the literature, from the published literature of a really well done systematic review that has reported something well. And then an explanation of why that particular thing is important to report, as well as a suggested location for reporting, which is down at the bottom. And the suggested location for reporting may say that it should be reported in the abstract and in the manuscript and in the supplemental few records, or it may only be in the supplementary materials, and so on. So it's just to give guidance on how you would actually go about doing that. But with a lot more detail that can happen in the checklist. I'm going to switch back to my presentation. Okay, so as I mentioned, I'm going to talk about four just a few items from that list. And I'm going to call them the big four. But really what they are is the bare minimum that is really necessary. If you're going to be reporting a database search as a component of your systematic review. So this doesn't get into things like great literature reporting, all of that is in the checklist, but I'm not going to cover it today. We're just going to go over these four. So the first one item one is name each individual database search stating the platform for each. And I'll get into that in a minute. Item eight, which includes strategies for each database and information source, copy them pasted exactly as run. And item nine, specify that no limits were used, or describe any limits or restrictions applied to a search. For example, day or time period language studies nine, et cetera, and provide justification for their use. And item 13, for each search strategy, provide the date when the last search occurred. And these are the four that I think are the most essential, again, for standard database only components of systematic review. So what does that look like? Okay, so for item number one, name each date individual database search stating the platform for each. When we talk about a database, we're talking about a database like Medline, for example, Medline is available to be searched on multiple different platforms. So depending on what platform you're using, your search strategy is going to be significantly different. So for example, just for Medline alone, you can search Medline through the web of science interface. You can search Medline through PubMed. You can search PubMed itself, which includes Medline, but it's not synonymous with Medline. You can search Ovid, you can search EBSCO, you can search all sorts of different platforms, every single one of which you have to search differently in order to achieve the results that you are looking for. And each one of these platforms will search the material differently, so you'll get different results in each of those platforms as well. It doesn't seem like you should, but that is in fact the truth, is that you won't be able to get the same number of results in each platform. So knowing what the platform is is critical to being able to figure out if you can actually reproduce a search. So in this good example here, this particular author did an excellent job of reporting all of the databases and the platforms. So they searched Ovid Medline with all of the different components, so you know exactly what slice of Medline via Ovid, which is the platform. They searched M-Base via Elsevier's M-Base.com, so there's other versions of M-Base that you could theoretically use. They searched Sinalpluff, which is a specific database from EBSCO, Cochrane Central through the Cochrane Library, it's part of Wiley, and Scopus as through Elsevier. And this one was done extremely well, and there's very few actual examples where you can find things actually done as well as the particular one. For the bad, unfortunately, this one, if you were maybe a casual reader, you wouldn't necessarily know that there might be a problem here, but there is, and it's namely around the listing for M-Base. Again, you don't know which platform that's at. PubMed and Scopus are both only available on one platform. The Cochrane Library is actually available on multiple platforms as well, and they don't list that here. So that's kind of the bad problem with this one, and it looks like Elaine would like me to pause. Elaine, do you want to just take over and show where the databases are? Yeah, thank you. I'm just going to share my screen here. This is the Mattis Library homepage, and this is where you begin your search to find those databases, but I think it needs a little bit of instruction to know where they are. So you would select resources here, and we've got several tabs that you'll find them on, but here's Medline which is searchable through PubMed, and it looks like that. Here is Medline which is searchable through another platform named Ovid, which is, you can see, looks entirely different. Also, I want to point out in Ovid that, Melissa, are you going to talk about registering protocols? Okay. Well, in Ovid, Ovid being a platform, we licensed several different databases in Ovid, and it defaults to Medline, but you can change them, and then you'll see all these other databases, and one that's used where people register protocols that you've heard about on previous and our previous webinars is right here, the JBI Evidence-Based Practice Database, and then you'll see these Health Star is a good one for health policy for those of you in the School of Public Health. Here is, I'm sorry. Go on just a second. If I could also throw in there, you'll see that in the databases that Elaine pointed out, these Ovid Health Star ones in particular, that each of those have different date ranges after them, and for Ovid databases, it's critical that you list what those dates are because that tells you which slice of a particular database that you're searching, and within the Ovid platform, there's many, many different options for each of these databases. Thank you, Elaine. Yeah, and I just want to point out that example of the good search that Melissa used, you see, it's not what this defaulted to. It's one of these with the EPUB ahead of print, so you do have to be thoughtful when you're selecting your databases, and that's why it's always a good idea to bring, ask for help from the librarian so that you could become aware of these. Here are other databases here, and keep, don't ask me why they're different. We are redesigning this, but these are other databases that are typically used in public health research. So I just want to point out how to get to them, but specifically from our homepage, I have this public health cross search here, and that is a search across these different databases. It's about eight different databases that through a survey I do, I'm able to, the survey asks of the faculty members, what journals are most important for your area of research, and then I track them back down to what databases the journals are found in. So this is another way to find databases. So that's all I wanted to say, Melissa. Sorry. Oh, no worries. Thank you for doing that. That actually was a very good demonstration of how complicated it is sometimes to just even figure out the name of the database, because each one is done a little bit differently, and like with Ovid, you'd have to worry about the date ranges as part of the name of the database. So that was a perfect segue there. I'm going to now go back to sharing my screen, and a little patient. Here we go. Okay. So again, as Elaine mentioned, this particular search did Ovid and Medline 1946 to present, et cetera, et cetera. And that is an important component to list because it will tell you in this particular one that they're searching for things that are published ahead of print. They're not just things that are indexed in Medline as of yet, and that's a big distinction to make. So that's why, again, it's very important to be very, very specific about your database. Okay. So now we get to the ugly. This is unfortunately quite common. And I'm just going to see if anyone would like to put in chat why they think that I think that this is awful. Any guesses or feel free to unmute yourself as well. Okay. Someone says no detail. Yes, there's definitely no detail. Searching preprints is okay as long as you are saying what the preprint server is. So that part I have less of an issue with, but we can discuss that later if you'd like to come back to it. Any other thoughts? Okay. So the big one is that they've lifted several things that are not databases. Yes, they are search engines and not databases. They're platforms and not databases essentially. So XCO hosts and ProQuest, both of which are platforms. Each of them, XCO hosts alone, you can search something like 800 different databases, ProQuest, dozens and dozens of different databases. And so if you're saying that you're searching XCO hosts or ProQuest, we have no idea what you actually search. So again, this is something that unfortunately we see a lot and it means instantaneously that this search is not reproducible and it's certainly not trustworthy. Okay. So the second one that I'm going to talk about item nine, that's the thing that no limits were used or describe any limits or restrictions applied to a search, such as date or time period language, study design, et cetera, and provide justification for their use. So limits are something that are actually built in databases. This isn't saying that as part of your search that you would put in your exclusion criteria, this is saying what did you actually do within a database to change how the results are. So really common ones are the ones that are listed, the date. So let's say that you had a specific invention. You wanted to test whether or not like this medical device, for example, was better or worse than another device that was invented on another date. You could say that you are limiting to a certain date range within your database search because of a reason such as that the device was not invented into that specific date, for example. Other ones that you'll see quite often are language and study design. From my perspective and the perspective of many systematic reviewers, you should never actually use any kind of limit at all within a database search. But unfortunately, it does happen. And if it does happen, then that's when you need to say that it happened and provide justification for the use. And if you were a systematic reviewer who was trying to have this unbiased search as possible, then you would say that you have no limits applied to your search. So in this particular example here, when I'm terming as a good example, they're saying that they're excluding these different study designs by excluding publication types, which is a limit that you can put into many different databases. They also say that they included all languages, and then that they removed non-English results during the review process. And that's a really important distinction to make because some people will say that they limit to English. And some people will say that their inclusion criteria is English. And sometimes it's not entirely clear as to whether or not the limit was applied in the database, which makes a big difference to the results that you get, or if they applied it afterwards by hand looking at all of the different results that they got. And so this one is very clearly written. And then they also say to improve specificity, the updated search, so that was the search that they did several months on the road to catch anything that had come up in the interim, was limited to human participants. Again, you should never limit to human participants. But at least they said that they did it, and they said why. So the to improve specificity here is the only component where they actually did write a justification, but at least they had at least some sort of justification. It would have been very helpful if they had written justification for the publication types as well as the, well, they didn't need one for the language because they didn't limit it by language. So the bad here, the bad is when it's not mentioned at all. Especially when it's not mentioned in the manuscript. Sometimes when you're looking at a search strategy that gets published with the manuscript, you'll go in and you'll say, well, they didn't mention they limited to English and they limited 1995 to present. Or they didn't mention that they limited to randomized control trials, which is a terrible practice. And so you have to really look at some of those details in order to figure that out. So it was always good to do the explanation of your limits in the manuscript as well as showing what you did in the full search strategy.  So this particular one says a literature search was conducted in relevant databases, including these, published between January 1, 2009, and August 1, 2019. So this one sort of mind boggling like what they actually did here. Did they actually use a limit to limit for those different time periods? What's the difference between publishing and when they entered the database? There is a lot of confusing things here that this just the wording of this leaves open. So you don't know why they chose this time period. You don't know for sure how they chose the time period. Did they do it by looking through by hand? Or did they do it biologically using limits within the database? Yeah, and there's, yeah, the justification is definitely missing. And especially with a time limit like that, you really need to find a justification. Sometimes, frankly, people's limits can in no way be justified. And they know it other than the fact that they don't want to look through very many results. And so they're clearly inconspicuously missing. And which is probably the case in this particular article. All right, so the next one I wanted to look over is item 13. So for each search strategy, you provide the date when the last search occurred. This is surprisingly difficult to actually find examples of that where it's done well. You wouldn't think that this would be a challenge, but it can be. And the reason why you want to have a date when the last search occurred is that someone who comes along in 10 years and wants to update your search can search back to a certain date that something was entered into a database and then go and search from there. Or sometimes people will go back a year or two years just to ensure that they are getting all of the results. But they're not redoing all of your work. And that's just it's really nice to people in the future. But it also enables people who want to reproduce your result. You know, you actually reported things accurately to let them have a time frame that they need to look at to see whether or not you know your results match. And so it's really helpful to be super specific about this. It's very easy. All databases were searched September 13th, 2019. We did the journal table of content searches on October 10th. And then we did a final updated search on March 23rd. Very simple. Now when we look at examples where it's not as well done, then we have things like this one. So this is to say this top one is the exact same example from the previous search. We don't know, for example, did they search on August 1st? Or was it limited to August 1st? It's very unclear. And so, again, having that search date is helpful in making sure that it's incredibly transparent so that people can reproduce what you're doing. This other one that's below, the literature search was performed between November 1st and January 15th. Well, that's a pretty big range and would actually make kind of a considerable difference. Also, which database was searched on which date? It would be okay to have this in a manuscript if then you had all of the dates in your supplementary file so that people could say, you know, for Ovid, Medline, I searched it on November 1st for Mbase via Mbase.com, I searched it on December 15th, etc. That would be okay. But as is, it's currently not. But one thing that I find incredibly annoying and so I put it in the ugly category is one that I mentioned a little bit earlier in my talk, which is when people say things like they searched in these databases from the earliest record to a certain date. Well, does that mean that they searched on that date? Does it mean that they searched up into that date? In this case, I'm guessing that they searched on that date. But then really what they're trying to say is they searched everything published up to that date, but it doesn't necessarily get entered into the database at that point. So it's very, very finicky to try and sometimes figure out what the authors are actually trying to say. So clarity is good. And this one is like the simplest one to actually be clear about. So be clear about it, what I recommend. Okay, and then this one is the one that sometimes tends to be the most well reported these days. But it used to be one of the worst reported, which is to have certain strategies published with articles. So back in the day of the original Prisma statement, which came out in 2009 and prior to that, there was another reporting guideline called Quorum that it was based upon. Journal had this thing called print versions and it cost them money to publish the print. And so they had things like page restrictions and but when things started moving online more and more, journals started introducing supplementary files. They started being able to accommodate more information actually in a manuscript. And so now with Prisma S as well as with the latest version of Prisma, Prisma 2020, which was released in preprint a couple months ago. We are now recommending that all search strategies be included. So not just one, which Prisma and Quorum recommended, but every single search strategy that is searched, whether it's in a database, an online journal, Google, whatever, include every single strategy that you have. And the important part too is to have it be copied and pasted exactly as well. So I'm going to first show you the bad one here. This is probably a little tiny on your screens. But this one is bad because it doesn't actually have the search strategy copied and pasted as one. What it has is a couple of terms thrown into a table and it has no information actually about how they were combined. So like what kind of Boolean logic combined them. It doesn't give any indication if they were searched in different kinds of fields. We have no idea, for example, what this plus means right before community engagement. There's a comma. I'm in pretty sure that there's no database that uses commas except for embays using them and part of field codes, et cetera. But it's very, it's not clear what they did.  It's totally useless information. Now a good one on the other hand might look like this. Let me see if I can quickly find a pair of one. This is an example of a supplementary file that includes actually everything that you would need to include in a supplementary file for a database search. So for this particular one, they have the, this is starting with the oven bed line search. They have the date range of the different oven file that they're using and they have the search strategy copied and pasted exactly. So you know exactly what they did, including the lines where they got zero results, like in this particular case. We keep scrolling down. You see it's a lovely beautiful search fully reproduced. You can see exactly at the end how many results that this particular search got. And then they go on to their next database. Then you keep scrolling. They go on to their next database. Then you keep scrolling. Then you get their next one and so on. And so they have reproduced beautifully every single search that they did. It makes it incredibly easy for us as readers to reproduce it and to examine what they did so that we can assess whether or not we think it was any good. Yeah. This supplement is particularly lovely. I'm not going to lie. So then this is the last search is the PubMed supplemental search. And you can see in the search that they even have the filters listed that they used when they were searching PubMed. So it's a particularly great one and beautifully laid out as well. Okay. So that was good. This is bad. Now for ugly. This is like just really, really ugly. They have the databases that they scanned for the words emergency and abdominal and surgery and geriatrics or elderly and mortality and comorbidity. And I'm not quite sure what they mean. What does that mean?  Medline has millions of records in it. You definitely don't want to scan Google Scholar because you can't. You can only see up to a thousand records. So really it's not entirely clear what they did here. Now is that are those just some random keywords that they threw in? Did they actually do a search? It's really just not clear. So again, that transparency component is just super important. And I'm not going to share any of the sources to protect the innocent man to do not condemn the guilty either. So this is the FYI. I purposely don't have any citations in here. So now let's play a little game of your turn. The good, the bad and the ugly. So I hope that you all know that this is Clint Eastwood and he's a man with a no name, with no name in the movie, the good, the bad and the ugly. And this is the end scene in the cemetery. So yes, I did get every single example directly from published literature. So they're all out there in their glory. And it's really not that hard to find. Most of them, it's harder to find good examples than bad. Okay, so are we all set? Okay, so one question is if we also search Google scholar in addition to specific databases, the breadth practice for documenting that, again, you copy and paste that search strategy, you because you will have one, right? Or if you don't just use a certain strategy, but you do other methods in Google scholar, you would need to document what you did. And so I would look at the Prisma S explanation and elaboration, looking at some of the things around other sources in there. There's quite a few good examples of Google scholar searching that could be helpful for you in trying to figure out how you want to report it. Most of the time people use Google scholar as a database. And so it just needs to be reported in the same way. What's the date that you did it? What did you do for your search? Just copy and paste that search in. And what is the database name, which is Google scholar. And if you want, you can provide a link to it. There's some platform involved. And then if you use any limits, and Google scholar does actually have limits that are available. So if you use those, you would say that. If you don't, then you would say that you use no limit. Elaine asked if you can only search a thousand records in Google scholar, is it a good database? Yes, it is. One of my colleagues and I did research on looking at unique records found in different databases and Google scholar is one that does produce unique references. So yes, I would recommend searching it. Just make sure you document it properly. Okay. Now, any other last questions before I go on? All right. So this is your turn. So feel free to type in the chat if you feel more comfortable or unmute yourself and we'll go forward. So here we go. Is the search reporting the good, the bad, or the ugly? I'll just read it out loud as well. We searched PubMed and based Cochrane Web of Science plus Global Health Synol and Psychinfo for studies regarding et cetera, et cetera. The search strategy included key terms and medical subject headings for these subjects as defined by the World Bank. A sample of the search strategy is provided, a research library in support of the flexion of the search strategy to maximize results. The search was conducted February through May 2019 and the resulting articles were imported into RefWorks and then into Cochrane's and de-duplicated. Okay. So what do we think? Good, bad, ugly, and why? Thank you, someone, for saying good. Any thoughts on why you think it's good or what you think is good about it? Okay. Someone else is bad. It's very ambiguous. Not reproducible. Okay. So we have some conflicting opinions here. I'm going to show you the things I picked out and then hopefully this will get inspired to do some of the other ones going forward. Okay. So I would say that these are the things that I looked at. So originally we talked about the first item is the database with a platform. So we look here. We see PubMed. PubMed is a singular database. You can't really search it anywhere else. So that one's okay. And base, we mentioned that there's no platform here. Not good. Cochrane, no clue what that means. Is it Cochrane Central? Is it Cochrane Database? Is it systematic reviews? Is it Cochrane Library? Is it Cochrane Methods Effective? You just don't know. So very unclear, very ambiguous. Web of Science Plus. Web of Science is not a database. Web of Science is a platform bad. Global Health. What database is this? Is this through a specific platform? I think I can guess which one this is, but I don't know because they don't give me enough information. Stenol. Psychintho. Both of those, again, can and have been in the past searched in different platforms. Right now, Stenol is only available in one platform, but it still should be lifted here. The other thing that I noticed was that it said sample of the search strategy. This is like reading an immediate red flag for me. Sample of the search strategy. It should be all of the search strategies copied and pasted exactly as Ron. And if it's a sample of the search strategy, you don't know. First of all, you're not going to get the one for all of the different databases, but probably most importantly, you don't know if it's actually the one that they ran or if it's just some random one that they made up. So it's really not clear what you're getting if you're seeing a sample of a search strategy. And lastly, one of the things that we had talked about was the date. So if this one again says that it was conducted February through May of 2019, it could be worse, honestly. At least they have a date listed or they conducted a search. So it's slightly less ambiguous. It just it would be nice to actually have that date to date. So I would say that there's a little bit of good, a little bit of bad, but largely this one is pretty ambiguous. Any questions about that? The man with no name says that. Okay, not seeing any questions. Let's go on to the good, the bad, the ugly, number two. All right. The databases utilized were chosen for their coverage and included the following databases Eric, academics, or premier, sport, discuss, psychology and behavioral sciences, psych, info, education, source, social science, citation index, document database, systematic reviews and education profile. The systematic search table one, spoiler alert, it's the table I showed you earlier, was conducted in 2017 and included x, y, z terms identified by natural effort. Okay, what do we think about this one? I popped in quite late, so I'm not sure if this is even on point. But I wonder with how they wrote schools, health search terms, community engagement specific search terms instead of just saying that, should you be including the actual terms themselves? That's a great question. And this is something that comes up all the time. When we were creating Prisma Fs, we asked for every single possible piece of information that people saw might be necessary for reproducibility. And one that did not come up was anything about the narrative description. And in fact, we as authors greatly feel that putting search terms in, like example search terms is actually detrimental to reproducibility. So that part, I'm really glad that you mentioned that because that part is not as descriptive as you sometimes might see, but surprisingly, doesn't really have an effect on the reproducibility. If there are systematic search that was in table one was actually their search and not just a bunch of random terms, then we would have a better search. So thank you for volunteering and something, and I appreciate that. Thanks. Okay, so we have a couple of other no dates for the year of the search. Yes, thank you, Elaine. That is correct. It was conducted in 2017. That is super unhelpful. And you have no specification of how things were combined, which we had seen in the table earlier. And then someone said, is Education ProQuest a platform? I actually am not sure what Education ProQuest is. It's one I would have to go look up. ProQuest is definitely a platform whether or not they have a database that's just called Education or Education ProQuest. That one I'm actually not sure about. I'm not familiar with it. I did actually look up this one in the middle called Psychology and Behavioral Sciences. And interestingly enough, what I think it is, is a partial fragment of academic search premier. So they really didn't make the search a buzz of them, because they're already searching academic career. But they didn't list any of the platforms for any of these. Eric, you can search in multiple places. Academic search premier is only in one place. So that one, you could sort of guess. Fort is good. You can search in multiple places, like info, fame, education source, no platform listed. Social client citation index, you can really only search that in one platform mostly these days. But it still would be helpful if they listed it. Copy and database and systematic reviews. You can search in at least two different platforms. So again, they didn't really get that one well done. So these are the different areas that, again, that I noticed. So the lack of listings of, excuse me, of the platforms, no specific date. And then the fact that their search actually was not copied and pasted. In this one here, they, and actually the previous one, neither of them described anything having to do with the limits. So both of them are like, in the limits area, you really need to specify that you aren't using limits if you don't use them. So the man with no name on this one says ugly, the Seymour from the first one by like a long thought. Okay. How about this one? Look at the bad or the ugly. We searched Medline, Medline and Process, and based like info, all via Ovid, Web of Science, Thompson Rearers, CDFR in Central via the Cochrane Library, and Sinal Ebsco from 2004 to January 2017. The additional file has Medline search strategy. Literature prior to 2004 was identified via the Health Technology Assessment by the Aberdeen Health Technology Assessment Group, which this research project was committed to update. Any thoughts on this one? Okay. I'm not saying any typing. So this one, they did a really good job on listing the platforms along with the databases with one exception, which is Web of Science is not actually a database, it's a platform. So they should have listed what the databases that they searched and Web of Science were, not just listing the platform. They did this searching up to January 2017 thing. Again, not clear. You don't know if that was a date and limit that they put in, or if that was the date that they searched. It's very unclear based on how they wrote it. They do have a Medline search strategy that they included. It doesn't say it's a sample. So in a spoiler, I will say that that one was actually fine. And then they also say how they found literature prior to 2004. So that's the justification for why they actually had the limit of 2004 to begin with. So this one actually used limits. It had a justification for why they used a limit, which was that they used another source to find it. They did a relatively okay job with a few exceptions. So it's still bad because you still can't tell when they searched, but it's definitely approaching much better. All right. So here we go. Here's another one. The following databases were searched systematically. The search strategy took the following form. The searches were not limited by language. They were run from database inception. The approach to study identification is apparently reported in supplementary material. Any thoughts on this one? No one willing to commit themselves, I see. Okay. So it's kind of the same thing. This one, it actually gave a time when things were searched, but it didn't give a date. But it's closer. It's closer. They did a good job of doing all of the different platforms with the exception of, again, they said they searched Web of Science, which is not a database, it's a platform. That one gets a lot of people. So it's one to watch for very carefully when you're working on your own such medical views. They specifically say that they did not limit by language or date. And they do say that they transparently reported things in their appendix. And I believe in this case, they actually did do it. So this one, I would say it's... Well, I wouldn't say it. The name would say it. Okay. All right. So the question is, so what database should we cite when Web of Science is used? You should cite whichever databases you have access to. And Elaine, perhaps you in the background could pull up your version of Web of Science and we can get back to that in just a second. It's a good question. Thank you. All right. So one more, the good, the bad or the ugly. This one is a supplement. I just wanted to show you. What do we think about this one? I can scroll down a little bit. This one goes on and on. This is actually the supplement that was referencing the last document. Melissa, I'm going to break in here just to say that I've got to go to a physical therapy appointment. So I've left you all in the chat links. All of these links can be found on our systematic review guide. And, you know, Melissa, maybe you'll look at it sometime and make sure that the things you referenced are in that guide. I just want to thank you all for participating. And if you want to offer a testimonial for our next series, I'd love it if you would just write me a sentence and send it to me.  I'm going to leave the Zoom on. Have a great day. Thanks very much. I'll just close by saying one thing, which is that that was one of the best reported searches that you'll ever see. And so though they had said in their paragraph that they searched in December of 2015, they actually in the supplement reported the exact date for each of the databases. They listed the host for each of the databases as well. Their one error was the level of science component, which I'm going to quick show you in right now. Give me a second. All right. So every single institution that has Web of Science has a different version of Web of Science. And they also have a different version of what's called the Web of Science Corp Collection. It depends on what your library purchases. So I'm going to go and show you what my library is. And then you can go and try and figure out what your library has that you might look at. So I'm going to go to find all databases. I'm clicking on Web of Science, which is a gateway to different databases. Right now, the database that it says that it's searching is Web of Science Corp Collection. If I click on Web of Science, let's see, more settings. If I go under settings, when I'm looking at searching Web of Science Corp Collection, it will tell me the different databases that are in my version of Web of Science Corp Collection. So I've got four different databases that I'm searching. And these are the different dates that my library has paid for as part of our license. Go to some place like Harvard, maybe even Tulane, they might have like 25 different databases listed here. They might have one database. Yeah, please. Yeah. Let me just quickly show you ours. Can you see my screen? Nope. Nope. Okay. I thought you were gone. I'm sorry, Elaine. No, no, that's okay. So this is, I'm going to go back and show you how I found this. Here is our home page. And here you select resources and it goes to find articles, Web of Science. And now to see what Melissa, so first of all, you see selected database. And this is a key thing, you know, it wasn't, I, one thing I had to learn in library school was to read these web pages because what you are looking for is not always what's on display. So here are databases. And you see for each one, it explains what they are. This is a comparable to what Melissa was showing us. These are the core collections. But you'll see that the dates were actually different between our two libraries. Ah, I did. Okay, well, now I'm going to go to my appointment. Okay, well, thank you for showing us that. And I think it's the differences were not quite sort of dramatic between our two libraries, but they can be very dramatic. So you always want to make sure that you're going to the my settings and that you would copy and paste all of those different databases are pretty key components. I am going to just quick turn my screen again, because I want to make sure that you have my information. But then I'm going to thank you all and ask if there's any additional questions. Okay, see none. All right, well, thanks all very much. I appreciate your time. And good luck reporting your searches for reproducibility and transparency.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 Chevy Tahoe 1LT is stock number 144181Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used SUV headquarters. This 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe has the 5.3 liter V8 gas engine. This vehicle has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. It has four brand new tires, and this vehicle is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside underneath. Start it up, take a look under the hood and give you the most accurate representation of the vehicle that I can. Silver Ice Metallic is the color I shoot all my videos in 4K. If you like the video, consider subscribing to the YouTube channel. Click the bell notifications and you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle walk-arounds on YouTube. This one comes with the gloss black painted alloy wheels, and it has brand new Edvanta X850 LT27565 R18 tires. You can still see the little wear knobs on there, framing under bodies in really nice condition. This is a, I believe it's a three owner, and it's always been owned in New Jersey and then most of its life in Arizona. Front fenders in excellent condition, has projector lamp headlamps, LED running lights, and factory fog lights. Front bumper is in fantastic condition, it's never been drilled into, and you do get the front bumper parking sensors. The grille is in excellent condition, and I didn't see any dents or dings on the hood. Looks really, really good, other than our box elder bugs, which are everywhere. Passenger side front fender is in excellent shape as well. Passenger side front wheel, no scuffs or scrapes, and that tire is brand new as well. Silver ice metallic has a lot of metal flake to it. It's got a lot of fine metal flake, and as you go down this side of this 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you're far away, or even if you're close by, and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision, or just the decision to come take a look at the vehicle from wherever you're at. If this video helps you do that, let your salesmen know that you saw the video was helpful, and that brought sense to you. Back wheels in really nice shape as well, and the back tires are brand new too. Framing underbody looks like it has a little bit of Arizona dust on it, but for the most part looks really good underneath. Has some nice factory running boards, lower rockers all look really good as well. Didn't see any dents or dings on any of those doors or the rear quarter, and coming around to the back, the rear bumper is in really nice condition, does have the backup parking sensors, the receiver hitch, and seven pin wiring. We do have the cover for that, we keep them inside the vehicle so they don't go missing, and the rear gate is in really nice condition as well. This is a power lift gate. You get a set of carpet floor mats back here, also I believe that's a weather tech mat for the back when the seats are down. There is that rear cover, you can see that's in really nice condition, and these third row seats do power fold down. I'm always amazed at how fast they go down, and how fast they go up. So that works nicely, and we'll shut this gate, press that button there, it'll come on down. You also get the flipper glass on these towels, which is pretty nice. You can see the shocks are doing a nice job holding that glass up, and that the rear defrost cables are attached. Shuts nicely, and as you go down the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger's side. Very nice down this side, the back wheel is in excellent shape as well, and for full disclosure, this back tire is brand new too. Down the rest of the side of the vehicle, doors all look really good, does have the heated power mirrors, built in directional signals, blind spot monitoring. Take a quick look at the back seats, you get the second row bench in this vehicle. Back seats in really nice shape, get the latch child safety system, weather tech floor mats throughout. These back seats are heated on the outboard side, you get two USBs, an HDMI, an aux jack, 110 volt, 150 watt plug-in, and a 12 volt power point, as well as rear air controls. This one has the Blu-ray DVD player. These seats fold down and up like so, to get to that third row, those third row seats are in fantastic condition as well. You do get side curtain airbags on the front seats, and the inside and bottoms of the doors all look really good. Little dust, very nice condition. I want to show you the VIN sticker here, no Canadian SUVs here, tire and loading information sticker. Inside the LT1 package gives you the black leather bucket seats in the front, no rips, no tears on there, they're in really nice shape. You also get auto headlamps, turned out four-wheel drive, power pedals, stability control, lane departure warning, power telescopic, and tilt steering wheel, which is really nice. The weather tech floor mats up front here as well. Power driver seat, Bose sound, memory driver seat, power windows locks and mirrors, and these mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly, and lastly you get child safety locks for the back doors right there. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this vehicle has to offer on the interior. You can see this one has 52,678 miles on it. You get the heated leather wrap steering wheel, that's in fantastic condition. Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, cruise controls, and heated steering wheel controls on the left, as well as forward collision warning controls. There's your shifter for that automatic transmission, and this one has the Chevy MyLink system. It does have the factory navigation system there. There's South Rolling Meadows Drive and Highway 41, so you can see that is working nicely. You get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You also get a storage area behind there, which is pretty nice, and a USB jack. And then you get all your different apps on here. This one has projection manager. You can project your cell phone to the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, and this is also where your backup camera shows up. Down here, your more tactile volume tune and climate controls, as well as your CD player rear air controls and your heated seat buttons for the front. Keyless entry with remote start and power liftgate options, and the passenger side format and seat are in excellent conditional rips or tears, and this one does have the power sunroof. Map lights, home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, and sunroof and rear gate controls on star and SOS buttons in the mirror, and we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. Just wanted to show you, you can always check to see what transmission is in these by going low. So this is the six speed automatic. Now I believe this is the last year that you could get this body style Tahoe. So if you like this body style, you like silver, this is a really nice one to get. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options, and of course, cleanliness of this vehicle all the way around inside and out. It's in really nice condition under the hood. We have the 5.3 liter V8 gas engine, engine base very clean runs, very smooth. Once again, this SUV has been fully inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off. It has four brand new tires. There's the emission sticker, and this Tahoe is 100% ready to go. I would highly recommend this vehicle from a quality and condition standpoint. I'd ship this one anywhere back to Arizona, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, California, wherever, whoever's going to get this vehicle is going to be very happy with the quality and condition on it.
