Systematic Literature Review

Systematic Literature Review is different from traditional Literature Review because


it aims to identify all studies (published and unpublished) that connect with specific
issues and to minimize the effect of selection, publication and data extraction bias
(Nightingale, 2020). There are 5 steps to conducting a systematic review (Khan et
al.,2003):
1. Defining research questions: A good SLR has well-formulated, answerable
research questions (Khan et al.,2003). The question guides the review by
defining which studies will be included, what the search strategy to identify the
relevant primary studies should be, and which data need to be extracted from
each study. Ask a poor question, and you will get a poor review (Counsell,
1997, p. 381).
2. Identification of articles by relevant topic: When the review question was
formulated, it’s crucial to identify studies that will be relevant, to include and
exclude materials which can help to ensure the effectiveness of investigation
(Briner & Denyer, 2015).
3. Evaluation of the quality of the received search results: After collecting
data, it allows us to evaluate the evidence in relation to the quality criteria.
This allows to formulate clearly the results of the review (Briner & Denyer,
2015). Biases either exaggerate or underestimate the ‘true’ effect of an
exposure (Khan et al.,2003).
4. Generalization of the results: The main task now is to analyse and put
together the findings from studies to create a new argument of the issue
(Denyer & Tranfield, 2009, p. 685). If the results of all studies are pooled
together in a quantitative analysis, this is called meta-analysis (Nightingale,
2020).
5. Interpretation of the results: Once the review has been conducted, we must
compile the results and after this, draw conclusions with regard to the
research question (Fink 2014, p. 199ff).
