Title: Navigating the Complexity: Systematic vs Traditional Literature Review

In the realm of academic research, crafting a literature review is an intricate task that demands a
meticulous approach. Researchers often find themselves grappling with the decision between two
predominant methodologies: Systematic and Traditional Literature Reviews. The choice between
these approaches can significantly impact the depth, scope, and effectiveness of the literature review.

Traditional literature reviews involve a more narrative and subjective exploration of existing
literature. Researchers delve into various sources, summarizing and synthesizing information to
provide a comprehensive overview of a particular topic. While this method allows for flexibility and
creativity, it may also lead to biases and oversights, as it heavily relies on the researcher's
interpretation.

On the other hand, systematic literature reviews employ a more structured and rigorous
methodology. Researchers follow a predefined protocol to identify, select, and evaluate relevant
studies. The aim is to minimize bias and subjectivity, ensuring a more objective and replicable
synthesis of the available evidence. However, the systematic approach requires a significant
investment of time and resources.

The difficulty in writing a literature review lies in striking the right balance between the
comprehensive exploration of existing literature and the need for a structured, unbiased synthesis.
Researchers must navigate through an overwhelming volume of scholarly articles, books, and other
resources, carefully selecting and analyzing relevant information.

Although not all systematic reviews conduct meta-analyses, many do and present their findings in
the form of forest plots. Team members screen the search results and sort them according to these
criteria, beginning with titles and abstract reviews and moving to full-text reviews later. Besides

have identified significant limitations or gaps in the current evidence base, and rightly recommend
that its findings are interpreted with caution (although this is a good rationale for conducting some
new research!). Does the size of the effect outweigh the cost to implement the intervention.
