Oh goodness, that's awful. I'm sorry you experienced that, as it's such bullshit. :S :(

Thanks for sharing that, lovely! It's many of the same issues here (i.e. capacity, aspect around peer), so it's good to know that our institution follows suit to others. :)

Thank you for sharing! To clarify: Do you do the searches FOR the PhD students, or are you reviewing the searches they have done? We have a capacity issue, so we don't offer that service, even for PhD students. Thank you!

That makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing your experience at your institution! It helps.

Thank you for sharing this! My institution gets *a lot* of requests for student PRESS, particularly from one dept. They believe that the PRESS is mandatory according to PRISMA 2020 (author note: it is not), so though we have tried to provide education around this, there are still many requests.

For students, do you do peer review of their searches? With or without PRESS?
