Need to meet and doublecheck usable papers one last time #11

@jwillms, I also would like to sit down and figure out how to double check that no usable papers were missed. I should be able to run a grep against your "vetted" table, but I think I need to discuss the format with you.

I will use this issue to post a few I have come across, but we should do automate this and check against your vetted list.

One idea is to go through papers that I designated as 'borderline'. Fortunately, I kept those papers separated from the ones that were obviously unusable.

In addition, I think that some of the papers on the FRAMES website did not show up in the database searches, so I need to look through those specifically to make sure I didn't miss any.

We probably want to avoid going through all the papers I vetted over again--that would take a huge amount of time, and the odds of finding anything is extremely low.

What is a grep?

But I'm a bit confused about your wording on some of this. We can talk. I'm not talking about going through by hand, I'm talking about getting this machine readable so I can check things. I want to AVOID re-checking anything you've vetted! But I don't see easily how. We'll talk tomorrow.

This may be difficult because of the formatting in excel for one of the database searches.

I may have solved this by going through every publication on the FRAMES website. This means we have the 3 database searches, the Google.Scholar search, and the FRAMES search.

We are up to 26 papers now, but there were a total of 13 separate experiments done in the new papers. Without going into detail, this is a big increase in the amount of data we have, and it targets areas where we were data deficient. It may be best for me to show this to you in person.
