From Synthesis Infrastructures

Discord

I've got a question that seems appropriate for this group, if anyone is interested in sticking around in this discord :).

So I spend a decent amount of time talking to Librarians Libraries, and it always strikes me that they are a group of people with a ton of training and experience specifically in synthesis-like work but seem often stymied by their tools, often for lack of resources. I should have asked earlier, are there any other libraries-adjacent people in this chat?

Here's a question for whoever is interested: what would you do (what tools, what would your workflow look like) for Manual Curation of thousands of papers from structured queries across multiple databases, with curation criteria that include a) reasonably specific/computable **minimum standards** (peer-reviewed, word count, etc.) and b) **topic standards** that are a series of keywords, but rely on someone doing manual curation to be able to recognize an intuitive n-depth similarity to the specific keywords
