Technical Report

How the Prism-ED database is curated and maintained

A detailed account of our curation methodology, evidence selection criteria, and ongoing maintenance processes.

In preparation

The full technical report is currently being written. It will document how our team of educational researchers selects, appraises, and maintains the research syntheses in the Prism-ED database — including inclusion criteria, quality appraisal procedures, update cycles, and the technical infrastructure behind the search and receipt engine.

Please check back soon, or contact the Prism-ED team for an advance copy.

  • Curation methodology — how articles are identified and selected by our research team
  • Inclusion and exclusion criteria for research syntheses
  • Quality appraisal procedures (planned for a future phase)
  • Database update and maintenance cycles
  • Technical architecture of the semantic search and receipt generation pipeline
  • Data storage, copyright compliance, and privacy safeguards
