Current work: the WS project (part 1)

Does geographic location influence search returns when using Google for a search for a systematic review?

Will someone searching for a medicine using Google in Australia see the same search returns and studies or data as someone in India or France or the USA?

We aimed to test these questions. The work is published in Research Synthesis Methods and the answer appears to be: what you see depends on where you sit. What does this mean for searching in reviews? That’s what is next to work out.
