i’m not convinced that spicy autocomplete would generate passable crude list of articles to consider in a way that would save me any time. already when going through scopus output i’ve made a fair selection (rejecting maybe 80%) of articles, then i had at least to skim them to tell whether it’s what i’m looking for, then i’ve narrowed them all down from few hundred to 80ish. then in some cases i went through literature in these articles to check if i wasn’t missing something. then i got to arrange them in some order and make a story out of all of that. all in all, these next steps took few weeks, so one day is positively swift. spicy autocomplete is utterly useless if it outputs few k of references, or throws out actually important work, or makes shit up and spits out nonexistent DOIs, because all of that makes next steps longer, or threatens to make the passable crude references list incomplete in important ways. i’ll pass
