A systemic search is method of searching literature to write a review. In the healthcare sector, students are required to maintain a high level of competence in their literature and carrying out a systemic search improves the literature quality and its retrieval. A systemic search provides an understanding of indexing and using proper keywords for search in the databases. A strategy for systemic search is mentioned as follows (Grant, K.L. et. al.):
1. Break the question into smaller parts and label each part as A, B, C etc.
2. Write down a key word for each part A, B, C respectively.
3. Combine each key work with Boolean operators such as “or”, “and” etc. and search in the database.
4. Use precise key words in the search.
5. Use key words such as: registry number, investigational drug number etc.
The main advantage of using systemic search is to create a systemic review which is a high quality literature review for assessment of healthcare research. A systemic review includes all the relevant references and material for a topic that can be collected from the electronic databases.
