Search Syntax

We first performed search through three databases using the following syntax for each.

Database Date Results Search syntax
Scopus 12 May 2024 227 TITLE-ABS-KEY ( valence OR arousal OR classi OR categor OR algorithm AND music AND emotion AND recognition ) AND PUBYEAR > 2013 AND PUBYEAR < 2025 AND ( LIMIT-TO ( DOCTYPE , "ar" ) )

First Pass: Identification of relevant studies

The first pass was to eliminate non-relevant studies based on our criteria (link to prereg). This round eliminated studies with incomplete or wrong type of information (e.g. conference proceedings).

library(bib2df)
library(tidyverse)
library(stringr)
library(ggplot2)

After this pass, the unique number of studies in the three collections was 553. During the first pass analysis, the studies were manually checked for relevance based on title and classified into low, moderate, and high relevance based on our focus.

d$PRIORITY<-factor(d$PRIORITY,levels = c("prio1","prio2","prio3"), labels = c("High","Moderate","Low"))
#print(knitr::kable(table(d$PRIORITY)))
summarytools::freq(d$PRIORITY, order = "freq",round.digits = 1,missing = 'NA',headings = FALSE)

0 NA NA 0.0 100.0
Total 553 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0

The majority of the excluded studies focussed on other aspects such as neuroscience, applied direction (recommendation, therapy) or another modality (visual, video, faces).

Second pass: Assessment of relevant content

Out of the studies identified in the first pass, a closer look at the priority 2 studies using the criteria established in the preregistration plan was carried out.
