Doing evidence synthesis and grappling with the ever-widening range of promises about using new Large Language Models to speed up the process?

I'm delighted to see my #QualityAppraisal tool being used by the Journal of Open, Distance & #DigitalEducation. We'll also be using it at the Review of Education.

#EvidenceSynthesis #EdTech
The Journal of Open, Distance, and Digital Education (JODDE) welcomes the submission of systematic reviews (up to 12,000 words). To assess the quality of systematic review submissions, we apply the Quality of Evidence Synthesis Tool (QuEST) developed by Bond (2024).

Couldn't find a starter pack for the #EvidenceSynthesis community in health and care research and beyond so I created one.

If you're not on this and would like to be and/or have suggestions of others to add let me know. Or indeed if you know of a starter pack I've missed.
