[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
- Nine knowledge synthesis methods (e.g., concept synthesis, critical interpretive synthesis, integrative review, meta-ethnography, meta-interpretation, meta-study, meta-synthesis, narrative synthesis, and realist review) were identified in the literature for the purpose of generating and refining theory
- Guidance for conducting these emerging knowledge synthesis methods are often vague and sometimes absent
