Online FDP by KSOM (Day III): Systematic Literature Reviews

A scientific literature review is the foundation for generating appropriate research gaps, build conceptual frameworks and apt researchable problems. Literature reviews can be conducted through varied processes. One of the most exhaustive, respected and scientific methodologies to conduct literature reviews is that of systematic reviews. Systematic literature reviews are heavily relied to in the domains of public health and medicine. Systematic scoping of studies to be covered, robust reporting protocols, rigorous quality checks on the papers identified and scientific reporting make systematic literature reviews one of the most valued reservoirs of evidence-based data. Systematic literature reviews also are a gateway to meta-analysis in domains where plethora of studies exist. The methodology associated with such a literature review is rigorous and needs clear exposition before being undertaken by scholars for different domains of research across varied disciplines.
