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
– Building inclusion and exclusion criteria based on a hermeneutic perspective
– Explore the practicalities of the search strategy. Keywords versus relevance, barriers to qualitative research, backward chaining and citation searches, creating a pearl growing strategy
It is suitable for postgraduate students/researchers and anyone with an interest in research.
