I am working on an article concerning a systematic literature review on the determinants of the business environment (business climate). thank you!
There are various approaches for conducting a systematic review (with or without meta-analysis or meta-synthesis). Notably, there are also various guidelines. Personally, I’d recommend following PRISMA (https://www.prisma-statement.org), as these are probably the most popular ones. Clearly state your research question, you can register your work at PROSPERO (I am not sure if non-health related systematic reviews can be registered). Use a comprehensive search strategy through at least 3 literature databases (avoid Google Search as primary, can be used as secondary to find missing articles). Conduct a study triage with at least one more person (study screening with data extraction). The most basic layout for such review is short introduction, methodology (used databases, keywords, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and if you need, a statistical analyses), results (how many results were retrieved and included, briefly analyze the basic information about included works, then proceed to actual analysis), and finally discussion, where you should summarize your findings.
Remember, approaching SR requires inclusion of all possible papers relevant to your topic. This will increase reliability and minimize bias. Meta-analysis (if possible) will even more enhance your work.
