Abstract
ABSTRACT Increasingly, sport and exercise psychology researchers are using systematic review methods to examine the evidence on a particular topic. Unfortunately, not all systematic reviews are created equal and the methodological quality of the review will depend on the quality of the methods used in the review process. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of essential methods and resources used in systematic reviews that serve to increase transparency, replicability, robustness, ethics, and translation of results. To achieve our purpose, we describe aspects of the systematic review process including best standards for planning and conducting a systematic review, coherence, literature searches, article screening, data extraction, reporting guidelines, open science practices, publication ethics, and disseminating results. In providing an overview of these methods for systematic reviews, we highlight relevant literature, resources, and examples from the sport and exercise psychology literature. Finally, we offer nine guidelines to follow to enhance systematic review methods used in sport and exercise psychology.
期刊介绍:
International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes critical reviews of research literature in sport and exercise psychology. Typically, these reviews evaluate relevant conceptual and methodological issues in the field and provide a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of empirical studies that address common themes or hypotheses. The reviews present summaries of, and conclusions about, the current state of knowledge concerning topics of interest, as well as assessments of relevant unresolved issues and future trends. Reviews of research literature on theories, topics and issues that are at the interface with mainstream psychology are especially welcome.
