Editing Abstraction (computer science) (section)

== Manual data abstraction ==
While much of data abstraction occurs through computer science and automation, there are times when this process is done manually and without programming intervention. One way this can be understood is through data abstraction within the process of conducting a [[systematic review]] of the literature. In this methodology, data is abstracted by one or several abstractors when conducting a [[meta-analysis]], with errors reduced through dual data abstraction followed by independent checking, known as [[adjudication]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=E |first1=Jian-Yu |last2=Saldanha |first2=Ian J. |last3=Canner |first3=Joseph |last4=Schmid |first4=Christopher H. |last5=Le |first5=Jimmy T. |last6=Li |first6=Tianjing |date=2020 |title=Adjudication rather than experience of data abstraction matters more in reducing errors in abstracting data in systematic reviews |journal=Research Synthesis Methods |language=en |volume=11 |issue=3 |pages=354–362 |doi=10.1002/jrsm.1396 |pmid=31955502 |s2cid=210829764 |issn=1759-2879}}</ref>
