Replying to @KDNyhan @tcshields and @meganclancy
Also: where to find hedges! I always forget about them and reinvent the wheel because I do SR so infrequently

Hey #ukmedlibs #medlibs do you have a preferred number to use when you use ADJ in your lit searches? I used to just go for ADJ3 by default and maybe increase the number if there were specific papers I wanted to catch in my results. Are there guidelines on this?
