I see a lot of "systematic reviews" in ecology searching a single platform (e.g. WoS). This is not recommended because not all potentially relevant studies are indexed on any single platform. 🧵 (1/3)

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril.
Fake papers are “poisoning the well” for these gold-standard syntheses, researchers say

I like the classification of "stealth-bad" journals - feels very reminiscent of my experience of a journal that eventually publisher my letter to the editor, after much chasing, but never the agreed erratum librarykirsten.wordpress.com/2023/06/02/r...

Hot off the presses. It was an absolute pleasure to put this together with @liblaura.bsky.social!
Takeaways:
1. Don't assign systematic/scoping reviews to your students!
2. Don't ask your university librarian to support this terrible idea!
