Review of: "Development and Functionality of the ABC Tool (Automated Boolean Composer) to Simplify and Standardize Search Strategy Construction in Bibliographic Databases"
Abstract
The paper addresses a genuine and well-recognised bottleneck in evidence synthesis: the dif culty, time cost, and error-proneness of constructing high-quality Boolean search strategies.Overall, this is a clear, well-written, and practically valuable paper.The tool is well-motivated, and the validation logic is sensible and grounded in established information-retrieval methods.
