Tools for initially scoping the literature

Abstract

Identifying and selecting appropriate keywords and indexed terms is crucial for developing robust search strategies to locate studies for systematic and scoping reviews. At the HLA PD online event in November 2020 I gave a 5 minute Lightning Talk on some of the text-mining and other tools I use for initially scoping the literature to gather keywords and indexed terms prior to developing search strategies for systematic and scoping reviews. This article is an adaptation of that presentation.
