“…See Figure 1 below. Best et al, 2014) The search question was defined as 'what is published in peer reviewed articles comparing the performance of bibliographic databases and web search engines for topics relating to health and social care?' To achieve this, three main concept groups were identified (1) literature searching; (2) bibliographic databases and (3) search engines.…”

“…Eight bibliographic databases ( Figure 2) were chosen ranging from inter-disciplinary databases, such as Scopus, to those focusing on health (Medline), social care (Social Services Abstracts) and information retrieval / library and information science (Library and Information Science Abstracts). The final selection of bibliographic databases was taken following a number of consultations with a subject librarian at the University and based on approaches established within previous research (Taylor et al, 2007;Best et al, 2014). Other databases considered, but removed following scoping exercises, were Communication Abstracts, PubMed and Social Care Online.…”

“…Precision is defined as the proportion of relevant articles retrieved from all the results in a specific search (Montori et al, 2005), however in recent studies Number Needed to Read (NNR) has been additionally offered as a metric to aid understanding (Best et al, 2014). Within the bibliographic databases, Scopus recorded the highest precision score (2.0%) followed by LISA (1.5%) and SSCI (1.2%).…”

Will web search engines replace bibliographic databases in the systematic identification of research? AbstractThe availability of web search engines provides opportunities in addition to those provided by bibliographic databases for identifying academic literature, but their usefulness for retrieving research is uncertain. A rigorous literature search was undertaken to investigate whether web search engines might replace bibliographic databases, using empirical research in health and social care as a case study. Eight databases and five web search engines were searched between 20 July and 6 August 2015. Sixteen unique studies that compared at least one database with at least one web search engine were examined, as well as drawing lessons from the authors' own search process. Web search engines were limited in that the searcher cannot be certain that the principles of Boolean logic will apply and they were more limited than bibliographic databases in their functions such as exporting abstracts. Recommendations are made for improving the rigour and quality of reporting studies of academic literature searching.

Decision makers in adult social care are increasingly interested in using evidence from research to support or shape their decisions. The scope and nature of the current landscape of adult social care research (ASCR) need to be better understood. This paper provides a bibliometric assessment of ASCR outputs from 1996 to 2011. ASCR papers were retrieved using three strategies: from key journals; using keywords and noun phrases; and from additional papers preferentially citing or being cited by other ASCR papers. Overall, 195,829 ASCR papers were identified in the bibliographic database Scopus, of which 16 per cent involved at least one author from the UK. The UK output increased 2.45-fold between 1996 and 2011. Among selected countries, those with greater research intensity in ASCR generally had higher citation impact, such as the USA, UK, Canada and the Netherlands. The top five UK institutions in terms of volume of papers in the UK accounted for 26 per cent of total output. We conclude by noting the limitations to bibliometric analysis of ASCR and examine how such analysis can support the strategic development of the field.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of memory‐guided attention: Frontal and parietal activation suggests involvement of fronto‐parietal networks

Prior knowledge and long-term memory can guide our attention to facilitate search for and detection of subtle targets embedded in a complex scene. A number of neuropsychological and experimental studies have investigated this effect, yet results in the field remain mixed, as there is a lack of consensus regarding the neural correlates thought to support memory-guided attention. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to identify a common set of brain structures involved in memory-guided attention. Statistical analyses were computed on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies that presented participants with a task that required them to detect a target or a change embedded in repeated and novel complex visual displays. After a systematic search, 10 fMRI studies met the selection criteria and were included in the analysis. The results yielded four significant clusters. Activity in right inferior parietal (Brodmann area [BA] 9) and right superior parietal (BA 7) lobes suggests involvement of a fronto-parietal attention network, while activity in left mid-cingulate cortex (BA 23) and right middle frontal gyrus (BA 10) suggests involvement of a fronto-parietal control network. These findings are consistent with the notion that frontoparietal circuits are important for interfacing retrieved memories with attentional systems to guide search.
