Dear research community,
i am looking for methodological papers (or a scientific approach) or best practice paper that utilize the same methodology. Due to page limitations we are not able to conduct a literature review. However, our intent is to rely on well-known journal only papers in our discipline and analyze them for a specific aspect, thus conducting only a backward search based on these papers to create a body of literature. By doing so, we want to reach a sufficient rigour without conducting and documenting a completely new literature review.
I am not sure if a metastudy is something like what we want to do but a metastudy is rather abour a quantitative analysis of the literature.
If our approach is realistic and applicable i would be happy for every suggestion how to do it. Any methodological paper on such an approach or any best practice paper would help.
Thank you a lot in advance.

Dear Dimitri Petrik
There were eight important steps identified that were directly related to literature searches in systematic reviews. They were as follows: who should do a literature search, the goals and objectives of the search, preparation, the search strategy, searching databases, additional searching, managing references, and reporting the search process.

You can easily determine key words and time duration related to the entire years that you are looking forward to do your research about it.
Thank you for your responses. But is there any method that represents a kind of qualitative meta review, relying only on already existing literature reviews?
yes sure, easy to find so many
just type your title and search especially for surveys
google scholar will help you to easily find and access.
All the best
Little bit late to the discussion and you've probably already found something but you might want to look at this paper: Article Synthesizing Information Systems Knowledge: A Typology of Li...
They provide a typology of reviews and what you are looking for could qualify as an umbrella review according to this typology.
For a concrete method to search and synthesize the literature you could refer to this paper: https://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/vol34/iss1/12/
Hope that helps.
Best,
Scott
