A qualitative study deposited in October 2025 examines how search systems impact systematic searching. Data were collected from interviews with twelve systematic searchers and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The dataset includes deidentified interview transcripts, recruitment materials, and coded themes for two planned publications.
Use Cases
- Analyzing searcher responses to search system limitations based on interview transcripts.
- Exploring themes on how interfaces shape search processes based on coded data.
- Studying constraints of technology, time, and access in evidence synthesis based on participant descriptions.
- Examining the information market context of systematic searching based on interview guide and coded themes.
Strengths
- Includes deidentified interview transcripts from twelve participants.
- Contains coded data for two overarching themes identified in the analysis.
- Provides supporting materials such as recruitment documents, consent forms, and an interview guide.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
