METHODOLOGY

Structure
General search methods
• Sources to search– How many sources to search?– Value of searching different
sources– Value of searching for different
publication types/formats– Service providers and search
interfaces
• Designing search strategies– Strategy development– Search filters– Other limits: language, date
• Peer reviewing search strategies
• Documenting and reporting search process
Searching for specific aspects of HTA
1. Health problem and current use of technology
2. Description and technical characteristics of technology
3. Safety
4. Diagnostic accuracy
5. Clinical effectiveness
6. Costs and economic evaluation
7. Ethical analysis
8. Organizational aspects
9. Social aspects
10. Legal aspects

Process
Two authors per chapter
Chapter authors can not write appraisals for their own publications
Texts prepared by non-English speakers are checked by an English speaker
We try to avoid duplication of work and re-inventing the wheel
Identification of studies
Use existing evidence-based and personal resources
Run chapter specific search strategies in selected relevant databases
Hand-searching relevant journals
Set up alerts for prospective identification of evidence
•Cochrane Handbook’s Searching for studies chapters•HTA Core Model handbooks• Search in the Cochrane Methodology Register•Our own reference databases
•Cinahl•Embase• Lisa• Lista•Medline / PubMed•Web of Knowledge

Selection criteria
Inclusion criteria Exclusion criteria1. Duplicate publications, previous
publications associated with the same study or project, and letters or comments to the editor will be linked to the related publication.
2. Individual studies or reviews presented and assessed in other evidence-based collections (such as the InterTASC Information Specialists' Sub-Group – ISSG - Search Filter Resource), will not be included. A link or a citation to the resource rather than the individual studies will then be provided.
1. The research question is relevant to information retrieval for HTA and the SuRe Info chapter in which it is to be included.
2. The publication provides latest evidence on a specific methodological issue.
3. The publication includes research findings of a completed scientific study (including reviews, evidence syntheses and theses).
4. The publication describes the scientific methods used in the study.
5. The research findings are still valid, i.e. have not been overtaken by technological or database changes.
6. The conclusions are supported by the presented results and the results answer the research question.
7. The results of the publication are generalizable or usable to other HTA information specialists or transferable to other projects or studies.

SuRe Info aims to…
Contribute to an evidence-based information retrieval practice
Serve as a common platform for HTA information specialists in different countries
29
SuRe Info is SuRe Info is not A methods
handbook
A comprehensive bibliography containing all published research evidence
An free online resource
A selection of up-to-date methods papers presented through summarized overviews
30
SuRe Info can be used...
To keep up-to-date with information retrieval research
To provide an overview of current evidence to those new to the field
of information retrieval for systematic reviews and health
technology assessments
To find current evidence when updating search guidance of
methods handbooks
