| Review articles are divided by two categories including
narrative and systematic reviews. Systematic review assesses
related studies using a scientific planned method to answer a
relevant research question.
The overall structure of a systematic review is comprised of
seeking and finding related studies, apprising them according
to clear criteria, combining the results and presenting them
obviously and succinctly. This type of review helps decision
makers to decide correctly regard to a topic which has
been examined in various studies. Systematic review needs
achieving experience and having enough time and the authors
should have sufficient authority on the topic. Relatively
identical processes have been suggested by different authors
that usually include formulating the research question, setting
the research protocol, literature search, extracting data,
quality assessment, data analysis and presenting the data,
and results interpretation. Performing these stages needs to
consider the protocol or plan that usually has developed by
the authors before beginning the study and following it may
avoid any bios and deviation from the research line.
The sections that are in a research article such as abstract,
introduction, methods, results and discussion should also be
considered in a systematic review article. |
