Development and Functionality of the ABC Tool (Automated Boolean Composer) to Simplify and Standardize Search Strategy Construction in Bibliographic Databases

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

The quality and comprehensiveness of search strategies are critical determinants of the rigor and reliability of systematic reviews and other forms of evidence synthesis. However, constructing effective Boolean strategies is complex, time-consuming, and requires specialized expertise. This article describes the development and functionality of the Automated Boolean Composer (ABC) Tool, an automated strategy genera...
