1 | The citation and abstract fields from the combined database search results on Ovid were exported in Excel Sheet format. |
2 | The Excel Sheet was sorted by publication title. |
3 | Any brackets preceding a publication title (used in Ovid to denote non-English content) were removed and the Excel Sheet was re-sorted by publication title. |
4 | Duplicates were identified manually and highlighted. |
5 | The Excel Sheet was then sorted by author. |
6 | Duplicates were identified manually and highlighted. |
7 | Abstracts were used in steps 4 and 6 above to verify duplicate references, as needed. In some cases, if abstracts were not available, the full-text articles were retrieved. |
8 | Unique references were moved into a separate Excel Sheet to serve as the benchmark set. |
