Our Take
An independent, practical assessment for students and researchers.
Practical Value
Research Gold specializes in systematic-review search strategies, including database-specific strings, PRESS search-strategy review, grey-literature and trial-register searching, citation searching, and PRISMA-S documentation. Its focused scope may be useful for teams that need to show exactly how evidence was located and make the process reproducible.
Limitations
A dedicated search service can also provide an independent check before the strategy is finalized. Confirm whether searches are designed only or also run by the provider, and whether screening, extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, and synthesis are outside the scope.
Recommended Use
It is a potential fit for systematic-review teams, doctoral researchers, and evidence-synthesis groups that already have a plan for screening and synthesis but need expert help improving or documenting the search. Do not assume that a search-focused engagement includes the entire review. Request a written list of databases, deliverables, timeline, and fees.
