Let me be clear: work is not requiring this of me. This is my choice, because of factors related to the pandemic, a highly atypical situation, and guilt about having to prioritize some things at the expense of others. +
I& #39;m an early riser most days anyway, and I was laying in bed thinking about how much library work I have to get done this week, and thought, & #39;Why not just do some of it now? Brain is on and running, might as well use it.& #39; So here I am. +
This is for a #systematicreview that I meant to have done weeks ago, but had to triage lower because of time sensitive, high demand COVID searching. I need to run final searches, export to EndNote, deduplicate, and upload in to the tool they& #39;re using. +
Got my Spotify playlist(s) lined up. Got my search documentation and notes in front of me. Got EndNote libraries for each database and the combined one prepped (overkill, but I& #39;ve learned the hard way that doing it this way is best for me). +
I think I& #39;m good to go. I& #39;m actually going to close Chrome (*gasp* - all those TABS!) so I can focus on the sometimes mind-numbing details of exporting from various databases. +
Like Embase, which we have through Ovid, which I have to do in batches of 200 results at a time. FML. (don& #39;t @ me - I don& #39;t have control over that, I& #39;ve tried to get it changed, it& #39;s out of my hands... it has to be done this way) +
One of the many reasons I don& #39;t use Ovid MEDLINE for #systrev and prefer PubMed. Yes, even new PubMed. PubMed is still better than doing Ovid line by line and Ovid& #39;s interface trainwreck. That& #39;s a hill I will die on. But that& #39;s a different discussion. +
ANYWAY. Wish me luck as I dive deep into this systematic review. May I show up on the other side with no duplicate citations and my sanity intact. And hopefully completed some time before lunch, but who knows...
