8 9 The filters to retrieve primary studies are part of the PubMed interface in the clinical queries section, where users search a Medline database filtered for articles of high methodological merit.
This issue is more than an academic argument over methodological merit: the subjects of this research are 50% of the worlds' workforce [ ILO, 2009] —mostly low-income people living in developing economies, 40% women and 60% men farmworkers [ FAO, 2011], who stand to benefit from progresses made.

A further methodological aspect that merits discussion concerns partial volume effects, defined as the loss in spatial resolution resulting in spill-over of image signal to and from adjacent structures.
They point to additional methodological issues that merit further attention like multi-collinearity, data frequency, data anomalies, distinction between statistically and economically significant APT and factors that cause asymmetry.
She intends to seek research projects "where the statistical challenges are complex and the data sets really merit methodological innovation... [but where] the problem that the data set is describing or the solution that the data set is proposing to have can have a real impact".
These methodological improvements would immediately merit publication in a technique-specific journal.
Together these results suggest the study quality issue is controversial and that the merits of this methodological step in systematic review requires thoughtful analysis.
Study limitations Several methodological aspects of our study merit caution.
