Review 04 Search Execution

Purpose

Record exactly what was searched so the review can be reproduced and defended during peer review.

Required Inputs

• 02_search_strategy/search_strategy.md.
• Database access status.
• Export format preference: RIS, BibTeX, CSV, NBIB, or Zotero collection.

Output

Create or update:

• 03_search_records/search_log.csv.
• 03_search_records/export_manifest.md.
• Raw export files if provided by the user.

Completion Gate

Pass only when each database has search date, exact search string, date range, filters, result count, export filename, and operator notes.

Stop Rules

Do not fabricate result counts. If a database cannot be searched, record it as unavailable with reason.
