I want to write a systematic literature review. Can anyone share the standard technique .
follow the preferred reporting guidelines (e.g., PRISMA for systematic reviews and meta-analyses).
For writing a systematic literature review, follow this structure:
Title: Create a concise and informative title that reflects the focus of your review
Abstract: Write a structured abstract that summarizes the key components of your review
Introduction: Provide background information on the topic of the review. Clearly state the research question or objective. Explain the importance of the review and its relevance to the field
Methods: Describe the search strategy, including the databases searched, search terms used, and any other sources consulted. Outline the inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting studies. Detail the screening process, including how studies were identified, screened, and selected.Explain the data extraction process and any tools used for quality assessment
Results: Present the findings of the review in a clear and organized manner. Provide summaries of the included studies, including their characteristics and key findings. Consider using tables, figures, or other visual aids to enhance clarity
Discussion: Interpret the findings in light of the research question and objectives. Discuss any patterns or trends observed across the included studies. Consider the strengths and limitations of the review, including potential sources of bias. Compare your findings to existing literature and highlight any gaps or areas for future research
Conclusion: Summarize the main findings of the review. Discuss the implications of the findings for practice, policy, or research. Offer suggestions for future research directions based on the gaps identified
References: Provide a list of all the studies cited in your review, following the appropriate citation style
What could be the sources other then Scopus , WoS and Google scholar . Also which method to is recommended?
There are different types of systematic reviews (of interventions, of diagnostics, of measurement properties etc.). The steps required to conduct the review depend on the type of systematic review you want to conduct. What is your research question or objective?
Regarding the databases, here I quote the COSMIN manual: "In agreement with the Cochrane methodology and based on consensus, MEDLINE and EMBASE are considered to be the minimum databases to be searched. In addition, it is recommended to search in other (content‐specific) databases, depending on the construct and population of interest, for example Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, or PsycINFO."
It should be noted that not all research teams have access to EMBASE.
PRISMA is a reporting guideline and not intended to guide the conduction of a systematic review. There are many handbooks and manuals depending on the type of systematioc review you want to conduct.
Greetings
Hi, you can look for other literature review papers to understand the methods. I suggest this paper, where the PICOC and PRISMA methods are used together to provide a literature review about machine learning and optimization algorithms. Article Hybrid approaches to optimization and machine learning metho...
