Identifying Search Terms for a Systematic Review: A Demonstration of the litsearchr Package

This video demonstrates how to use the R package litsearchr to identify search terms for a systematic review using black-backed woodpeckers in post-fire forests as a case study. Researchers at the University of Connecticut developed the litsearchr package and the underlying method to make the process of designing a search strategy for systematic reviews easier, more reproducible, and less biased towards articles with which researchers are already familiar.
