The document was authored by Ghislaine Orth and harvested from the Borealis Dataverse platform.
Use Cases
- Replicate or adapt a systematic literature search based on the described strategy for insomnia studies.
- Benchmark search methodologies for polysomnography and actigraphy research across multiple databases.
- Apply the documented animal exclusion filters from McGill University Health Centre Libraries to other biomedical searches.
Strengths
- Strategy covers eight major biomedical and trial databases, including MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials.gov.
- Search date is explicitly stated as February 25, 2026, providing a temporal reference point.
- Incorporates a specific filter (McGill University Health Centre Libraries' Animal Filters) to exclude animal studies.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
