Systematic reviews: Structure, form and content
A systematic review collects secondary data, and is a synthesis of all available, relevant evidence which brings together all existing primary studies for review (Cochrane 2016). A systematic review differs from other types of literature review in several major ways.

Synthesis and systematic maps
The same is true of systematic reviews. Two common and different types of review are those asking about the evidence of impact (effectiveness) of an intervention and those asking about ways of understanding a social phenomena. ...

Guidelines for writing a systematic review
A Systematic Review (SR) is a synthesis of evidence that is identified and critically appraised to understand a specific topic. SRs are more comprehensive than a Literature Review, which most academics will be familiar with, as they follow a methodical process to identify and analyse existing literature (Cochrane, 2022).
Introduction to Systematic Reviews
A systematic review identifies and synthesizes all relevant studies that fit prespecified criteria to answer a research question. Systematic review methods can be used to answer many types of research questions. ... The purpose of the qualitative synthesis is "to develop and convey a deeper understanding of the diversity of questions ...
Systematic Reviews: Synthesis & Meta-Analysis
Synthesis involves pooling the extracted data from the included studies and summarizing the findings based on the overall strength of the evidence and consistency of observed effects. All reviews should include a qualitative synthesis and may also include a quantitative synthesis (i.e. meta-analysis). Data from sufficiently comparable and ...
Systematic Review
A systematic review is a type of review that uses repeatable methods to find, select, and synthesize all available evidence. It answers a clearly formulated research question and explicitly states the methods used to arrive at the answer. Example: Systematic review. In 2008, Dr. Robert Boyle and his colleagues published a systematic review in ...

CONCLUSION. Siddaway 16 noted that, "The best reviews synthesize studies to draw broad theoretical conclusions about what the literature means, linking theory to evidence and evidence to theory" (p. 747). To that end, high quality systematic reviews are explicit, rigorous, and reproducible. It is these three criteria that should guide authors seeking to write a systematic review or editors ...
Chapter 12: Synthesizing and presenting findings using other methods
When writing the review, details of the synthesis methods should be described. Synthesis methods that involve vote counting based on statistical significance have serious limitations and are unacceptable. Cite this chapter as: McKenzie JE, Brennan SE.

Systematic Reviews & Evidence Synthesis Methods
Traditional Literature Review: Systematic Review: Review Question/Topic. Topics may be broad in scope; the goal of the review may be to place one's own research within the existing body of knowledge, or to gather information that supports a particular viewpoint. Starts with a well-defined research question to be answered by the review.
LibGuides: Systematic Reviews: 8. Synthesize Your Results
A qualitative synthesis is a narrative, textual approach to summarizing, analyzing, and assessing the body of evidence included in your review. It is a necessary part of all systematic reviews, even those with a focus on quantitative data. Use the qualitative synthesis to:
Synthesise
The synthesis part of a systematic review will determine the outcomes of the review. There are two commonly accepted methods of synthesis in systematic reviews: Quantitative data synthesis. Qualitative data synthesis. The way the data is extracted from your studies and synthesised and presented depends on the type of data being handled.

Synthesising quantitative evidence in systematic reviews of complex
To help systematic review and guideline development teams decide how to address this complexity in syntheses of quantitative evidence, we summarise considerations and methods in tables 1 and 2. We close with the important remark that quantitative synthesis is not always a desirable feature of a systematic review.
Qualitative Evidence Synthesis: Where Are We at?
Qualitative evidence syntheses (QES) have increased in prominence and profile over the last decade as a discrete set of methodologies to undertake systematic reviews of primary qualitative research in health and social care and in education. The findings from a qualitative evidence synthesis can enable a richer interpretation of a particular ...
Guidance on Conducting a Systematic Literature Review
Literature reviews establish the foundation of academic inquires. However, in the planning field, we lack rigorous systematic reviews. In this article, through a systematic search on the methodology of literature review, we categorize a typology of literature reviews, discuss steps in conducting a systematic literature review, and provide suggestions on how to enhance rigor in literature ...
