searchrefiner logs collection

This is a companion repository for the paper "The Impact of Query Refinement on Systematic Review Literature Search: A Query Log Analysis". This repo contains all the data and code used to produce the observations and figures in the paper. We don't provide the raw logs collected from the tool, since that contains identifiable data. However, this repo contains the code necessary to extract the raw logs into the same format as is contained here.

Working with the data

The collection is split into three formats:

  • searchrefiner.log.jsonl contains just the processed log data, each query and metadata (i.e., seed studies, etc.) on a new line.
  • searchrefiner.logical.log.jsonl contains the log data grouped by logical sessions as described in the paper. The file starts with INVALID, which groups all queries that could not be grouped into a logical session.
  • searchrefiner.mission.log.jsonl contains the log data grouped by search missions as described in the paper. The file starts with INVALID, which groups all queries that could not be grouped into a search mission.

The code to produce the analysis and figures is located in log_analysis.py. It is provided "as is" with no comments.
