Exporting results

Most databases will allow results to be exported into EndNote and details of how each database does this can be found within the ‘Collecting References EndNote Online’  or 'EndNote: Collecting References (Desktop) section of the EndNote guides. There will also be information in the help sections of the databases to explain how to export results. Some databases will allow results to be exported into an Excel spreadsheet, again check the individual database help pages for more information.

You might also wish to review the page on documenting your search results.

Can I save my searches?

There may be options within databases to save searches. Some databases, such as the EBSCO and Ovid databases will allow you to create an individual account within the database and then you can save searches and your search history. For further information check the individual database help pages for how to save searches.

Hand-searching involves looking through the contents pages of journals, conference proceedings and abstracts. The purpose of hand-searching is to identify articles, which have not yet been included in databases or have not been catalogued or indexed.

You can also find additional studies by looking through the references of papers that you have already identified in your review. Many databases will automatically display the references that a paper has used in their work, with relevant links to access the references. Some databases, like SCCOPUS or Web of Science, will also contain an option for 'Citied by,' which will show you the papers that have cited them since they were published.

JBI SUMARI facilitates the entire systematic review process from protocol to report and includes team and contributor management for effective and efficient collaboration.
