One of my masters student will write her thesis about the emergence of happiness as a public policy goal. We are planning to conduct a systematic literature review between 2000 and 2010 to answer our research questions (why and how did happiness emerge as a policy goal?). We will code the selected studies (ie. proposed/argued theoretical and circumstantial reasons by the writers), then we will try to illustrate the theoretical background and circumstances which created suitable climate for happiness to rise as a policy topic during the mentioned time frame. I would appreciate if you could share your opinions about which type of systematic literature review (ie. textual narrative, scoping review, thematic synthesis etc) would fit this research, and I would be more than happy to hear your recommendations about the research topic.
Type of systematic literature review you should use on google search,
Sci finder,Web of science pertaining to your topic of research. Title of paper, authors , Journal volume ,page and year of publication are essential in chronological order before starting research work..
There are no different types of systematic reviews. The protocol may change depending on your inclusion and exclusion criteria of the literature.
First, she has to choose an academic search engine (from the same domain). The tricky point is defining the search string, including the relevant keywords. Second, she has to control the inclusion and exclusion criteria to have a reasonable number of articles to analyze.
Thematic analysis is an approach to synthesize the collected literature. For a practical example, you may look at this article:

Thank you Rami. I am sure the article will be useful. I understand that you have chosen "qualitative meta-synthesis analysis" in your study. This is where we are in limbo. For example how can we choose between thematic analysis, metasummary, or narrative synthesis etc. since they all appear to be relevant as far as our research is concerned.
