published well and has a good reputation, it might be more likely that these are worth reading and
citing. Any lit review is only as good as the research it discusses; make sure your sources are well-
chosen and your research is thorough. Involvement of topic experts can ensure that the rQES is
responsive to need. 14 17 One Cochrane rQES saved considerable time by agreeing the review topic
within a single meeting and one-phase iteration. 9 Decisions on topics to be omitted are also
informed by a knowledge of existing QESs. 17 An information specialist can help to manage the
quantity and quality of available evidence by setting conceptual boundaries and logistic limits.

especially beneficial in case of (i) complex searches (e.g. for reviews on public health topics), (ii)
searching for health outcome measurement instruments, or (iii) research areas without consistent
taxonomy, with vocabulary overlaps with other fields, or with a lack of index terms in databases
(e.g. methodological topics)'. In the final publication, we will provide a detailed overview of
extracted data items. One author will extract data and a second author will peer-check the extraction.

scoping review aims at identifying methodological studies on the benefit and use of citation tracking
in systematic literature searching for health-related topics with no restrictions on study design,
language, and publication date. Subjects include medical, nursing, and healthcare specialties. If you
don’t choose a well-defined topic, you can find yourself dealing with a wide subject and plenty of
publications about it. It appears at the end of the paper, after any endnotes. 2 The entire paper is

quotes for quotations that are four lines or longer. Evaluate sources. Identify themes, debates and

Hui, as shown below: Hui, Andrew. It is important to keep track of your sources with citations to
avoid plagiarism. See what is listed as “keywords” (these are usually given at the top of the paper),
and “JEL codes”. For example, to cite an author named John Smith, Jr., you would type Smith, John,
Jr. We only searched health technology assessment agencies for grey literature, so some tools only
mentioned by clinical guideline or regulatory organisations might have been overlooked. If the
