Tools and recommendations for structured literature review
On this page, we'd like to discuss ways to do an effective and successful literature review. I have some ideas what a literature review/search should consist of.
Literature search
Requirements for a literature review:
- reproducibility: search term should clearly be defined, the search period and time/data should be noted.
- coverage: the search should include as many publications on the topic as possible.
- a defined and complete sorting system (i.e. a list of categories which covers all publications and is unequivocal)
