Systematic Reviews
Systematic reviews employ a specific methodology and a well-defined approach to collect and analyze a variety of research sources, studies, and papers on a specific topic or subject. A systematic review generally consists of a clear research question, a comprehensive and detailed search for relevant studies, explicit criteria for what studies to include or exclude, and a final synthesis of all findings, which can be both qualitative or quantitative. This kind of review aims to provide objective, reliable, evidence-based conclusions with minimal biases.
