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.
