A Scoping Review of Equine Biomechanics Revisited.

As techniques for equine biomechanical research have become more accessible and affordable, the literature published in this area has exploded. Literature reviews have become more popular of late and, more specifically, several literature reviews in areas related to equine biomechanics have been published. A scoping review is a relatively new approach, where a general aim is to map the body of literature on a topic area, accounting for criteria for inclusion and exclusion. However, problems can arise both in performing the review and in critiquing the findings. In this manuscript, the authors repeat a published scoping review of equine biomechanics aiming to map 'the existing literature in the field of equine movement analysis'. The search criteria from the previous study were reviewed and the performance of the search criteria was iteratively studied to find as many relevant papers as possible. The results yielded 77% more publications than the original review mainly as a consequence of not limiting the search strategy to papers including "equine" or "horse" in the title. The importance of using appropriate and inclusive search terms is highlighted together with evaluating the findings within the context of the discipline and time frame of the review.

LEAP4FNSSA lexicon: Towards a new dataset of keywords dealing with food security.

The main objective of the project LEAP4FNSSA (Long-term EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership for Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture) is to provide a tool for European and African institutions to engage in a sustainable partnership platform for research and innovation on Food and Nutrition Security, and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA). The FNSSA roadmap facilitates the involvement of stakeholders for addressing and linking research to innovation dealing with food security issues. In this context, the LEAP4FNSSA project supports the driving of the roadmap. Research and innovation activities were captured in different data, i.e. LEAP4FNSSA database and heterogeneous textual data including project reports, websites, scientific publications, workshop reports and student theses. The Knowledge Extractor Pipeline System (KEOPS) was implemented to support the processing and analysis of textual data associated with FNSSA activities. KEOPS is based on the LEAP4FNSSA lexicon presented in this data paper. The LEAP4FNSSA lexicon composed of 331 keywords associated with 12 concepts of the food security domain is the result of 3 steps of work and brainstorming. The lexicon enables the capturing of research and innovation topics dealing with food security and conducted by African and European partners. This data paper presents the obtained lexicon and a summary of the method to build it.
