目的：确定图书馆员和信息专家作者身份是否与更好的系统评价（SR）检索质量相关。研究设计和设置：由独立审稿人使用三种工具对高影响力普通内科医学期刊的SRs进行检索质量特征和报告质量的审查，包括医学研究所推荐的检索过程标准清单和电子检索策略同行评议工具的评分修改。结果：图书馆员和信息专家的参与水平与报告的搜索策略的搜索再现性显著相关（X-2 = 23.5; P < 0.0001）。在13个分析的搜索标准中，与没有图书馆员参与的搜索标准相比，图书馆员共同撰写的sr满足8个标准的几率要高得多，比提及图书馆员参与的搜索标准高出6个标准。单因素方差分析显示，三组间搜索质量总分的差异有统计学意义（F-2.267 = 10.1233; P < 0.0001）。结论：SR搜索质量和报告仍然存在问题。与图书管理员或信息专家共同撰写的sr与报告的高质量搜索策略显著相关。为了减少SRs中的偏见，作者和编辑可以鼓励图书馆员参与SRs，包括作者身份，作为帮助改进搜索策略文档的潜在方法。(C) 2015爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objectives: To determine whether librarian and information specialist authorship was associated with better reported systematic review (SR) search quality.Study Design and Setting: SRs from high-impact general internal medicine journals were reviewed for search quality characteristics and reporting quality by independent reviewers using three instruments, including a checklist of Institute of Medicine Recommended Standards for the Search Process and a scored modification of the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies instrument.Results: The level of librarian and information specialist participation was significantly associated with search reproducibility from reported search strategies (X-2 = 23.5; P < 0.0001). Librarian co-authored SRs had significantly higher odds of meeting 8 of 13 analyzed search standards than those with no librarian participation and six more than those with mentioned librarian participation. One-way ANOVA showed that differences in total search quality scores between all three groups were statistically significant (F-2.267 = 10.1233; P < 0.0001).Conclusion: Problems remain with SR search quality and reporting. SRs with librarian or information specialist co-authors are correlated with significantly higher quality reported search strategies. To minimize bias in SRs, authors and editors could encourage librarian engagement in SRs including authorship as a potential way to help improve documentation of the search strategy.
