Systematic literature reviews
A systematic literature review is a thorough, organized method for analyzing all relevant research on a specific topic. Researchers follow a clear plan to find, evaluate, and summarize existing studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of what is currently known. This process helps identify patterns, gaps, and consensus in the research, ensuring the conclusions are based on the best available evidence. It’s like a detailed, evidence-based survey of scientific knowledge that supports informed decisions and future research directions.
