1) A systematic literature review is a multi-step process that involves explicitly and rigorously identifying and analyzing relevant studies on a topic. It aims to limit bias through predefined search methods, inclusion criteria, and data extraction guidelines. 2) Systematic reviews differ from narrative reviews in their clearly defined methods and protocols to limit bias. They involve statistical analysis of extracted data while narrative reviews provide a broad overview. 3) Conducting systematic literature reviews allows researchers to assess consistency of relationships across different populations, settings, and cases to establish generalizability of scientific findings.

Look: The Tools (Part Two) (Systematic Literature Review & English writing)

By : Dr (Cand). Eka Yuliana. ST., MSM., CECP, CBC


Systematic Literature Review
 A systematic literature review is a logical,
linear process. By ‘linear’, we mean a
purposeful activity that is performed in a
sequential order, in other words,

a ‘step-by-step’ process.
(Edward Pursell & NiallMcCrae, 2020)

Where is ???
• Expert opinion
• Case reports
• Case-control studies
• Cohort studies
• Randomised controlled trials
• Reviews and meta-analyses
Types of reviews
Systematic reviews
 Use explicit and rigorous methods to
identify, critically appraise, and synthesize
relevant studies
 Narrative reviews: Summaries of research
that lack explicit descriptions of systematic
methods
 Meta-analysis: quantitative review using
statistical analyses
 Meta-ethnography: systematic review of
qualitative data
Systematic reviews Narrative reviews

What is systematic about it?
 Key search words
 Searching method
 Criteria for including/excluding references
 Clear structure in appraising the evidence
 Explicit discussion of limitations
Stage 1 : Key words Not too broad (‘scope
creep’) Not too narrow (‘empty net’)
Examples :
 Think of all possibly
synonyms
• Digital creative
 Check already retrieved • Rural tourism
papers for possible key • Cyber security
words and their
combinations
 Make sure to follow the
search engines ‘rules’ in
combining the key words
Stage 2: selecting papers
Method of selecting Decide on your inclusion/exclusion
criteria

This might depend on how advanced is the field


What demographics of participants might influence outcomes?
(e.g., age, sex, ethnicity, country, etc.)

Search criteria and method


Selection criteria, including explicit justification for study exclusion
The scales or checklist by which studies are appraised
Any techniques of synthesis or analysis by which they are
presented
VOS-viewer

 VOS-viewer is a software tool for constructing


and visualizing bibliometric networks.
 These networks may for instance include
journals, researchers, or individual
publications, and they can be constructed
based on citation, bibliographic coupling, co-
citation, or co-authorship relations.
 VOSviewer also offers text mining
functionality that can be used to construct
and visualize co-occurrence networks of
important terms extracted from a body of
scientific literature.

Further advantages of
systematic reviews


Assess consistency of relationships and effects
 Among studies of the same or similar
interventions
 Across populations and settings
 Across different cases, situation, condition,
societies
 Establish generalizability of scientific findings
 Identify variables affecting generalizability and
consistency (e.g., sex, age, ethnicity,
occupation, validation)
English Writing
 The more you write, the better you learn to
express your opinion and build sentences
following the rules of the language.

 It’s all about grammar, spelling, punctuation,


and other aspects that you train in writing to
help you build oral communication better.

 The more you read, the better your outlook,


skills, and ability to express the information are.
You can make your writing creative, build new
ideas and improve your results.
