  1. Embase screening Using technology to harness the wisdom of the crowd #CochraneTech 20th September 2014 Hyderabad, India

  2. The Embase project Mission: identify all RCTs in Embase and feed them into CENTRAL Team: Gordon Dooley, Julie Glanville, Anna Noel-Storr

  3. Feeding time CENTRAL Help make CENTRAL the Go To place for all RCTs

  4. How: Let’s use crowdsourcing “…the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community, rather than from traditional employees…” CENTRAL

  5. How: Let’s use crowdsourcing Need rapid ‘on-boarding’ Need in-built feedback mechanism Need in-built quality assurance measures The screening tool, the way in which guidance is delivered and the way screeners, and us, can evaluate performance is all reliant on how we harness the technology…

  6. Rapid ‘on-boarding’

  7. ‘dive on in’

  8. The screening tool

  9. 1. Simplicity You have to make one of three decisions on each record

  10. 2. Helpful highlights We’ve highlighted some key terms and phrases: yellow highlights indicate that the record may be describing an RCT

  11. 2. Helpful highlights Red highlights indicate that the record is likely to be a Reject

  12. 3. You are not alone Stalwart! You are the only person screening Two’s company! There is currently one other person screening We have a crowd! There are currently two other people screening We’re all at it! There are currently three other people screening

  13. 4. We are doing well Sense of progression and orientation 2459 RCTs/q-RCTs 601 Signed up 68,465 Citations

  14. 5. You are doing well

  15. Using Tech to support new methods RCT RCT RCT CENTRAL Bin Reject Reject Reject Resolver Unsure

  16. Ux “It is so easy to read! And use!” “Really clear and user friendly” Love it! “Easy to navigate”

  17. Ux: the highlights are the highlight Makes it quicker to spot the keys issues In a mass of words, it helps locate the information that I should be searching for Immediately shows me words that give me a "first impression" Aside from the actual words that are being highlighted, it draws your eye to the sentence in which the term appears too, which is usually what you want It serves as a simple reminder of exclusion criteria without having to open a separate tab/page to review whether a paper should be included or not

  18. The Cochrane eco system RCTs from Embase CENTRAL

  19. The Cochrane ecosystem RCTs from anywhere CENTRAL

  21. But while we still need people…
