This problem is addressed by the PRISMA-S, ROBIS (P2 D2) and MECIR (C32). Literature search strategies should be carefully planned and revised if necessary, preferably with the input of an experienced information specialist. Common errors and omissions include missing key terms, spelling or truncation errors, problems in applying MeSH headings and translation errors across databases.
