[ssba-buttons] [/sidebar] [sidebar-content]- The results of this scoping review can be used to inform a research agenda to advance these methods in the knowledge synthesis field
- Seven knowledge synthesis methods were identified in the literature that can be used to integrate qualitative and quantitative data (e.g., integrative review, mixed studies review, realist review, meta-summary, meta-narrative review, narrative synthesis, and critical interpretive synthesis)
- Some of the knowledge synthesis methods provided guidance on all steps, whereas other methods were missing guidance on the synthesis process
