“…A literature review has as its main objective to show the central structures of a subject or topic, with the aim of identifying research progress that has been made, as well as literature gaps that remain (Hart 1999;Baker 2000). In this context, we use and apply the methodology and steps proposed by Lage Junior and Godinho Filho (2010) and subsequently tested by Jabbour (2013) and Mariano et al (2015) in our literature review.…”

The area of disaster management has become increasingly prominent in a context of frequent political, religious change and conflict, and within it, the field of knowledge on humanitarian logistics and supply chain management (HLSCM) has attracted attention from a variety of stakeholders, such as scholars, practitioners and policy makers. Consequently, humanitarian logistics and supply chain research has seen a significant increase in the quan- 123Ann Oper Res tity of works emerging, particularly journal articles. In this context, we aim to systematize the selected contemporary literature on humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. After identifying the relevant literature on Scopus and Web of Science, we chart a systematization of this body of knowledge by applying a system of codes and classifications to it. Based on research gaps found, we propose an original research agenda for further developing the humanitarian logistics and supply chain management field, as suggested avenues for future research.

“…To identify the relevant publications in the selected sources, we conducted a keyword search as proposed by Bandara et al (2011), as keywords are the Bthe parameters of research itself^ (Baker 2000). In a first step, we extracted terms used synonymously to Bsocial commerce^.…”

“…What can a literature review about social commerce contribute? Whereas reviewing the literature represents an essential step and foundation when a research project is undertaken (Baker 2000), a literature review Bmakes a vital contribution to the relevance and rigour of research^by seeking Bto uncover the sources relevant to a topic under study^ (vom Brocke et al 2009, p. 13) and Bcreates a firm foundation for advancing knowledge^ (Webster and Watson 2002, p. 13). Especially due to the growing number of publications on the phenomenon of social commerce, we believe an analysis of literature is necessary to assess the current state of knowledge and research as well as to carve out research fields (Scandura and Williams 2000).…”

In recent years, social commerce evolved into an emerging phenomenon of global interest for marketers, businesses, and researchers alike. In light of this development, it is not surprising that the number of publications focusing on this phenomenon at the interplay of electronic commerce and social media has been rising substantially. The goal of this paper is to provide a structured overview of social commerce research by means of a structured literature review. Based on our literature search between 2007 and 2014 resulting in 116 published papers, we carve out and assess the knowledge and the research areas that have been predominantly addressed by the Information Systems, Electronic Commerce, and Marketing research community so far. By providing a research agenda, we hope that our results will stimulate and guide future research in this exciting field.

“…The scholarly literature review, whether in a short monogram, descriptive report, academic paper or PhD thesis is, therefore, underpinned by previous works-a process enacted by correct use of referencing. Baker (2000) reiterates that the advancement of knowledge and ideas is incremental with investigations leading to new knowledge discoveries reliant on the work of previous researchers-hence, today's investigators stand on the shoulders of yesterdays researchers to be able to see further. The shoulders of others being directly evident in the citations used.…”
