Meta‐analysis and traditional systematic literature reviews—What, why, when, where, and how?

Abstract: Meta‐analysis is a research method for systematically combining and synthesizing findings from multiple quantitative studies in a research domain. Despite its importance, most literature evaluating meta‐analyses are based on data analysis and statistical discussions. This paper takes a holistic view, comparing meta‐analyses to traditional systematic literature reviews. We described steps of the meta‐analytic process including question definition, data collection, data analysis, and reporting results. For each … Show more

“…Across these, there are six substages: identification, acquisition, organization, purification, evaluation, and reporting (Paul et al, 2021). In line with Paul and Barari's (2022) study, we provide a structured review. A structured review focuses on the development of a research domain by compiling information on the associated theories, models, constructs, contexts, or methods.…”

“…In systematic literature reviews and meta‐analyses, researchers need to perform a thorough literature search process (Adil et al, 2022; Barari et al, 2021; Barari et al, 2022; Bindra et al, 2022; Hassan et al, 2022; Maseeh et al, 2021b; Paul & Barari, 2022; Paul & Benito, 2018; Paul & Criado, 2020; Paul & Feliciano‐Cestero, 2021; Paul et al, 2021). Thus, the literature search process for our meta‐review involved five steps.…”

“…As Paul and Barari (2022) suggested, the variance in the effect sizes was examined using a heterogeneity analysis. For this, the values for the degree of heterogeneity ( I 2 ) and the observed variance ( Q statistics) were calculated to assess whether the included studies were heterogeneous or homogeneous (Borenstein et al, 2011; Higgins & Thompson, 2002; Higgins et al, 2003; Huedo‐Medina et al, 2006).…”

“…Even though UTB has been a research topic for over a decade, no studies have quantitatively summarised the data through meta-analysis. Meta-analysis is a research method that quantifies the strength of a relationship between two variables, giving it an advantage over traditional literature reviews (Barari et al, 2020;Paul & Barari, 2022). Meta-analysis investigates relevant studies to establish meaningful trends (Borenstein et al, 2009;Rana & Paul, 2020;.…”
