I'm looking for stats on a condition and a 2023 report has a useful figure. Its source is an article from 2019. Their source is a 2012 article. Their source is a 2006 article. And their data is current up to 2001. So these numbers are not as useful as I'd hoped

Delighted to receive my copy of 'Piecing Together Systematic Reviews & Other Evidence Syntheses' from @RLPGBooks I enjoyed writing Chapter 10 with Jenny and Elizabeth where we set out some case studies to search approaches

This is a brilliant series that I use a lot. Librarians, note that the acknowledgements to Volume 1 are one of the places you get to see Philip Larkin doing his day job @HullUni_Library
The Dictionary of Labour Biography (DLB) is 50 years old this year. We published vol. XV in 2019. Currently working on future plans for the project and securing its long-term future.

Try working in a library and avoiding the word "book" because no matter how much you try to code shift saying that double vowel will always show you're from Stoke

Zoom into this photo from Derby the other week to play Where's Wally and also see what I look like when I'm super stressed.We're talking #pvfc trying to hold onto a 1 goal lead in injury time levels of stress, not relatively minor stuff like doing a covid guideline in 1 afternoon
🎫 | @CambridgeUtdFC Tickets Update The remaining tickets for tomorrow's trip to Cambridge United will be on sale on the gate from the Abbey Stadium, so you can make noise and back the boys! 🙌 #PVFC | #SuperValeAway

We don't think PRESS can be applied 'objectively' as the peer reviewer must respond to the contextual info that sets the parameters of the search. The article has a nice case study showing what you need to know, as well as having the strategy
