A practical academic guide to conducting systematic literature reviews with rigour and transparency. It brings together the Kitchenham guidelines for planning and conducting a review and the PRISMA 2020 standard for reporting it.
The book moves from the foundations and history of review methodologies through research-question formulation, search strategy, database selection, inclusion and exclusion criteria, quality assessment, data extraction and synthesis, and on to reporting results, dissemination and sustaining the impact of a review.
It is written as a reference for students working on theses and dissertations, and for lecturers and researchers preparing review articles.
