*apologies for cross posting*
Dear all,
I'm involved in planning a large systematic review of outcome instruments/measures (not effectiveness of interventions). I have run searches for a similar review in a smaller area so have scaled up my estimation of numbers. Searches may find approx. 90,000 records which will reduce by about 1/3 to approx. 60,000 when duplicates are removed. Several thousand full text papers will be read and I guess data will be extracted from 500+ papers. At least 2 reviewers will work on the review.
please can anyone advise me with the following questions?
Reference Management
How does Endnote handle 100,000 records in one library? the largest Endnote library I have encountered is 40,000 and it was slow to process these but got there in the end.
Would you recommend other reference management software for collating records together and de-duplicating them?
Review Management software
What review management software would you recommend for handling a large review bearing in mind:
- its not an intervention or DAT review so RevMan is probably not suitable
- it will have different data extraction forms, different data collected for different types of measurements (probably 6 different forms) It needs to be flexible enough to have a large number of custom fields for data extraction for the variety of data being collected.
- It needs to allow access for multiple reviewers.
would EPPI-reviewer 4 be suitable? I've never used it so I'd be very interested to hear your of your experiences if you have used it for a large review/synthesis.
Thank you very much for your help. I'm happy to circulate responses,
best wishes
Judy
