Deduplicating literature-search results is important - and tedious. So we built deduplicate.it: a free, open-source tool that removes unambiguous duplicates in a conservative first pass, then gives you one clean file for manual review.

Evidence about the effects of interventions may come from 3 main categories of studies:

🔵Experimental
🔵Quasi-experimental
🔵Observational

Are our ecological conclusions built on shaky foundations?

Our latest paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social highlights that Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment, crucial for ensuring the internal validity of research, is almost never used in #systematicreviews in eco & evo 📉
