Tools to identify Keywords and MeSH • Google & Google Scholar • Looking at MeSH headings from key articles • Citation analysis – Scopus & Web of Science – who has cited whom • Scope Notes in Medline, Embase, CINAHL Text matching tools • MeSH on Demand • PubMed Reminer
EndNote’s 5 star rating column is used to indicate JBI Level of Evidence Research Notes field is used to record 5a, 5b, 5c etc https://joannabriggs.org/assets/docs/approach/JBI-Levels-of- evidence_2014.pdf
MeSH Subject headings were exported from EndNote to a Word table for the for the Systematic review “ “Effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in reducing grief experienced by family carers of people with dementia.”
