Information retrieval for HTAs

From EUnetHTA:

“EUnetHTA releases the second version of its methodological guideline “Process of information retrieval for systematic reviews and health technology assessments on clinical effectiveness”. The aim of this methodological guideline is to provide an up-to-date and transparent overview of the whole information retrieval process for Systematic reviews and HTAs on clinical effectiveness. In particular, the requirements presented in this methodological guideline aim to provide orientation for systematic searches on clinical effectiveness conducted within the framework of EUnetHTA.”

Includes plenty of examples and a checklist.

Just as we leave, they eventually produce something useful for once. Damn!
