English abstract

Objective and method: The complete and detailed reporting of the search process in systematic reviews is vital for their reproducibility and to evaluate the rigor and reliability of the results. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the transparency and reproducibility of search strategies in systematic reviews published in spanish Library and Information Science journals. For this purpose, the databases Web of Science and Scopus were searched for articles published in these journals identified as systematic or systematized literature reviews. Thirty-five reviews were finally selected and the presence of elements related to the search for information recommended in the PRISMA-S guide was evaluated: complete search strategy, keywords and search terms, time period searched, number of studies retrieved, names of databases searched and limits or filters applied. Results and conclusions: There is a very deficient reporting of the elements related to the search for information. The majority of the reviews do not provide a complete search strategy and 25% do not provide keywords either, with the name of the databases searched being the most frequently described element (91,4%). No differences were found in the information provided in the reviews published by librarians or information professionals and those from other disciplines. Authors using the term systematic or systematized review should describe in a transparent and rigorous manner all the elements essential for its reproducibility and evaluation.

Objetivo y método: La descripción completa y detallada del proceso de búsqueda en revisiones sistemáticas es vital para su reproducibilidad y evaluar el rigor y fiabilidad de los resultados. El objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar la transparencia y reproducibilidad de las estrategias de búsqueda en las revisiones sistemáticas publicadas en las revistas españolas de Biblioteconomía y Documentación. Para ello, se buscó en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus los artículos publicados en dichas revistas identificados como revisiones sistemáticas o sistematizadas de literatura. Se seleccionaron finalmente 35 revisiones y se evaluó principalmente la presencia de elementos relacionados con la búsqueda de información indicados en la guía PRISMA-S: estrategia de búsqueda completa, términos de búsqueda, periodo de tiempo buscado, número de registros recuperados, nombre de las bases de datos buscadas y limitaciones o filtros. Resultados y conclusiones: Existe una descripción muy deficiente de los elementos relacionados con la búsqueda de información. La gran mayoría de las revisiones no proporcionan una estrategia de búsqueda completa y la cuarta parte tampoco las palabras clave, siendo el nombre de las bases de datos buscadas el elemento descrito con mayor frecuencia (91,4%). No se encontraron diferencias en cuanto a la información proporcionada en las revisiones publicadas por bibliotecarios o profesionales de la información y de otras disciplinas. Es necesario que los autores que empleen el término revisión sistemática o sistematizada describan de manera transparente y rigurosa todos los elementos imprescindibles para su reproducibilidad y evaluación.
