Ian Knight, a PhD student in the school, will give the lab talk this week.
Systematic reviews are a comprehensive and parameterised form of literature review, found in most disciplines, that involve exhaustive analyses and rigorous interpretation of prior literature. The process is labour-intensive, and would greatly benefit from automation or machine assistance, but it is unclear which elements are best suited to support or what kinds of support would be most suitable. This talk will present the findings of a three-month ethnographic study of one review-writing group, to highlight the key work tasks involved in producing systematic reviews and to present opportunities for the design of IR systems to support them.
