Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are widely studied across many scientific disciplines using a variety of techniques in diverse environments. Due to the wide scope of NHP research, substantial overlap in research topics and questions can occur, whose resulting scientific evidence is synthesized by literature reviews. Identifying all relevant research on a particular topic involving NHPs can be difficult and time consuming. By adopting objective search development techniques from systematic reviews, we developed search filters to detect all scientific publications involving NHPs in PubMed, PsycINFO (via EBSCOhost), and Web of Science. We compared the performance of our comprehensive NHP search filters to search strings typical of a novice database user (i.e., NHP simple search strings) and validated their sensitivity by combining these searches with a topic search of cortisol related studies. For all comparisons, our comprehensive NHP search filters retrieved considerably more scientific publications than the NHP simple search strings. Importantly, our comprehensive NHP search filters are easy to use (text can be copied and pasted into the database search engine) and detect the most recent publications that have yet to be indexed by the bibliographic databases queried. Additionally, we developed filterNHP, an R package and web-based application (https://filterNHP.dpz.eu), for researchers interested in literature searches involving a taxonomic sub-group of NHPs. filterNHP alleviates time necessary for adapting our comprehensive NHP search filters for a particular NHP sub-group by automatizing the creation of these search filters. Altogether, our comprehensive NHP search filters and those for taxonomic sub-groups generated by filterNHP will enable swift and easy retrieval of the available scientific literature involving NHPs, and thereby help enhance the quality of new NHP literature reviews that guide future scientific research (new experiments) and public policy (e.g., on welfare and conservation).

综合搜索过滤器，用于检索有关非人类灵长类动物的出版物以进行文献综述 (filterNHP)

非人类灵长类动物 (NHP) 在不同环境中使用各种技术在许多科学学科中得到广泛研究。由于 NHP 研究范围广泛，研究主题和问题可能存在大量重叠，其科学证据由文献综述综合而成。确定涉及 NHP 的特定主题的所有相关研究可能既困难又耗时。通过采用来自系统评价的客观搜索开发技术，我们开发了搜索过滤器来检测所有在 PubMed、PsycINFO（通过 EBSCOhost）和 Web of Science 中涉及 NHP 的科学出版物。我们将综合 NHP 搜索过滤器的性能与新数据库用户的典型搜索字符串（即，NHP 简单搜索字符串）并通过将这些搜索与皮质醇相关研究的主题搜索相结合来验证它们的敏感性。对于所有比较，我们全面的 NHP 搜索过滤器检索到的科学出版物比 NHP 简单搜索字符串要多得多。重要的是，我们全面的 NHP 搜索过滤器易于使用（文本可以复制并粘贴到数据库搜索引擎中），并且可以检测尚未被查询的书目数据库索引的最新出版物。此外，我们开发了 filterNHP，一个 R 包和基于 Web 的应用程序 (https://filterNHP.dpz.eu)，供对涉及 NHP 分类子组的文献搜索感兴趣的研究人员使用。filterNHP 通过自动创建这些搜索过滤器来减少为特定 NHP 子组调整综合 NHP 搜索过滤器所需的时间。总而言之，我们全面的 NHP 搜索过滤器和由 filterNHP 生成的分类子组过滤器将能够快速轻松地检索涉及 NHP 的可用科学文献，从而有助于提高指导未来科学研究的新 NHP 文献评论的质量（新实验) 和公共政策（例如福利和保护）。
