2. Introduction What is a systematic literature review (SLR)? A systematic literature review is a means of identifying, evaluating, and interpreting all accessible research relevant to a particular research question, or topic area, or phenomenon of interest (Kitchenham, 2004). 3. Introduction To whom: Students, Academicians and Researchers For what? To identify gaps in current research To keep up to date with the latest research To provide a background in order to appropriately position new research activities. To summarize the existing research evidence concerning a technology (techniques/tools) 4. Introduction Different from traditional non-systematic review 5. Problem Faced Time and effort consuming Require a lot of skills in searching data, data handling, analysis and interpretation Lack of domain knowledge Non-standardized keywords and difficulty in identifying synonyms 6. Methods/Protocol Planning the review Identification of the need for a review Development of a review protocol. Conducting the review Identification of research Selection of primary studies Study quality assessment Data extraction & monitoring Data synthesis. Reporting the review 7. Methods/Protocol Identification of the need for a review Problems are transformed into answerable questions. Development of a review protocol. Describes each phase of the review process. Selection of primary studies A systematic strategy is used to search for studies. Study quality assessment The methodological quality of all studies is appraised before they are included in the review. Data extraction & monitoring To collect all the information needed to address the review questions and the study quality criteria Data synthesis Results are synthesised by either a narrative summary, and where appropriate, using meta-analysis. 8.
