Animal filters in Embase are used routinely, but until now they had no performance data. We compared 11. Our advice: before choosing one, ask whether animals or nonhumans could feature in relevant studies for your review.

Hey #medLibs, did you see that #OpenAlex now features PubMed‘s study designs? They added more depth and also classified works that are not classified in #PubMed.

Now, I want to make another bibliometric analysis of #SystematicReviews 😊
