) Handsearching health promotion and public health journals It may be useful to handsearch specialist journals relevant to the review topic area to identify further primary research studies. Also consider non-health promotion and public health journals which may cover the topic of interest, i.e., marketing journals, etc. Two lists of health promotion and public health journals have been produced which may help to determine which journals to search. 1) The Lamar Soutter Library list of public health journals, http://library.umassmed.edu/ebpph/, (a list of freely available journals is also included) 2) The Core Public Health Journals List compiled by Yale University, http://www.med.yale.edu/eph/library/phjournals/, The Effective Public Health Practice Project (Canada) has found that the most productive journals to handsearch to locate public health and health promotion articles are: American Journal of Health Promotion, American Journal of Preventive Medicine, American Journal of Public Health, Canadian Journal of Public Health, BMJ. Other useful journals include Annual Review of Public Health, Health Education and Behavior (formerly Health Education Quarterly), Health Education Research, JAMA, Preventive Medicine, Public Health Reports, Social Science and Medicine. c) Grey literature Methods to locate unpublished, difficult-to-find literature include: Scanning reference lists of relevant studies Contacting authors/academic institutions of key studies Searching for theses, dissertations, conference proceedings (one source of dissertations and theses is the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) which can be accessed from http://www.theses.org/) Searching the internet for national public health reports, local public health reports, reviews serving as background documentation for legislation, quality assurance reports, etc. A useful internet search engine for locating academic work is Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com). Save, document and export the search Always save and print out the search strategy for safe record-keeping. It is essential to have bibliographic software (Endnote, Reference Manager, GetARef) to export the retrieved citations to apply the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Citations from unpublished literature cannot usually be exported, so will require individual entry by hand into the reference managing system. Bibliographic software will also assist with the referencing when writing the final review. REFERENCES 1. Egger M, Juni P, Bartlett C, Holenstein F, Sterne J.
