Systematic Literature Review
For those conducting a systematic review at Nord University the library offers advice and support.
We can assist researchers and PhD research fellows at Nord University with:
- Finding out if a systematic review on your research question already exists
- Translating your research question to a search strategy in cooperation with you
- Recommending databases and other sources
- Giving guidance about or do literature searches in relevant databases
- Delivering the search results in EndNote where the duplicates have been removed
- Documenting searches and the search strategy and write about it for use in the method chapter
- Updating searches when needed
- Following methods and standards
It is important to contact the library at an early stage in your project.
In a systematic literature review the literature search is the main data collection.
An experienced librarian can use up to 30 work hours on this kind of search. In periods of high demand some waiting time must be expected.
