Librarians are trying to plan for the 45% reduction of ERIC. While the Department of Education has not (yet) released a title list of journals that are being de-selected, we're trying to create a list via a grassroots effort. View and contribute journal titles here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Takeaways:
1. Don't assign systematic/scoping reviews to your students!
2. Don't ask your university librarian to support this terrible idea!

π₯ Hot tip! Before starting a systematic review, make sure an information scientist/research assistant is part of the review team. They have specialised skills to develop and implement a comprehensive search strategy π
