Building Rigour into the Literature Review Process: Literature Review Methodology, Searches and Qualitative Data

Tuesday 8th February 2022, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (London Time)

Since the rise of Cochrane and the systematic review process, there has been a call for a greater degree of rigour in qualitative literature reviews. Qualitative Literature reviews require:

– A methodology

– A clearly defined and transparent search strategy

– Evidence of rigorous inclusion/exclusion criteria

 

This session will:

– Give an example of ‘hermeneutics’ applied to research processes

– Explore the underpinning principles that shape and determine the research strategy
