PSA: The time to contact your librarian is before you start your systematic review, NOT after you've submitted for publication and the reviewers say you didn't follow a systematic process and now you have to redo the whole thing in 3 months.

As a colleague of mine said, “you’ve baked a burnt cake, I can’t give you your ingredients back.”

A real conversation (at least how I remember it. It was a long time ago): -I need a search that finds these articles. -You’re starting a systematic review? -I already did one, but the reviewers say I need a search. -What’s wrong with the one you used? -Can’t you just make one up? -Nope, I can’t.
