Abstract

ABSTRACTA good literature review that effectively synthesises current knowledge can contribute to the cumulative knowledge growth and advancement of a field. This tutorial-paper complements the existing methodological guidelines, with a particular focus on the ‘literature review protocol’- which can significantly improve the quality, efficiency, and impact of a literature review endeavour. In this paper, we describe what a ‘literature review protocol’ is, discuss its major components, and provide essential design guidelines. In particular, we provide a comprehensive toolkit with step-by-step instructions, templates, and illustrative examples that users may adapt to their own projects. This information is appropriate for novice and expert researchers conducting a literature review for publication purposes, and also for reviewers or editors who assess literature review papers. It is also beneficial for educators engaged in research trainings.KEYWORDS: Literature reviewmethodological guidelinesprotocolcodingdata analysisillustrative examples Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1. ACPHIS PhD Medal is awarded annually for the best Australian PhD thesis in the discipline of Information Systems2. Inductive/deductive/hybrid.

方案在系统文献综述中的作用

摘要良好的文献综述能有效地综合当前的知识，有助于一个领域的知识积累和进步。这篇指导性论文补充了现有的方法指南，特别关注“文献综述方案”——它可以显著提高文献综述工作的质量、效率和影响。在本文中，我们描述了什么是“文献回顾协议”，讨论了它的主要组成部分，并提供了基本的设计指南。特别是，我们提供了一个全面的工具包，其中包括逐步说明、模板和说明性示例，用户可以根据自己的项目进行调整。这些信息适用于新手和专家研究人员进行文献综述以发表为目的，也适用于评估文献综述论文的审稿人或编辑。这也有利于从事研究培训的教育工作者。关键词:文献综述、方法学指南、研究方案、编码、数据分析、举例说明披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。ACPHIS博士奖章每年颁发给澳大利亚信息系统领域的最佳博士论文。归纳演绎/混合。
