Introduction
Pragmatic literature reviews are valuable tools to form the basis of a research project or initial scoping of a research area. In the age of big data these reviews can help sift through large volumes of articles to narrow down the focus of a project. However, to ensure the work is robust and relevant a ‘quick’ pragmatic review often becomes arduous, requiring checking of multiple sources and organising of data, even before starting the analysis.
Galactic can support quick pragmatic reviews to ensure they are robust and relevant. The technology enhances the search process by allowing you to adjust the review parameters in real-time and tailor the review to your needs based on its outputs. Galactic provides new ways of cutting and investigating the data, to unlock trends and relevant relationships between terms that may have been missed otherwise.
How-to: Run a quick pragmatic literature review
Galactic technology has been refined over almost a decade to accelerate and strengthen quick pragmatic literature reviews. The technology uses sensitive natural language processing and deep learning, combined with high quality ontologies to ensure a thorough literature search. Popular ontologies and vocabularies, as well as those curated by Biorelate, have been adapted and edited to improve searches. This helps you get the insights you need, better, and faster, from your reviews.The interface allows you to easily select the parameters and scrutinise the results.
