Citation searching: a systematic review case study of multiple risk behaviour interventions

, and . BMC Medical Research Methodology, 14 (73): 1-8. (2014)

Abstract

The value of citation searches as part of the systematic review process is currently unknown. While the major guides to conducting systematic reviews state that citation searching should be carried out in addition to searching bibliographic databases there are still few studies in the literature that support this view. Rather than using a predefined search strategy to retrieve studies, citation searching uses known relevant papers to identify further papers.
