Unlike systematic reviews, narrative reviews do not follow a standardized protocol for literature search, selection, or data analysis. Instead, they are typically broad in scope and aim to offer a comprehensive overview of a field, often including expert opinions, historical context, and theoretical perspectives. Key Characteristics: Flexible methodology: No strict inclusion/exclusion criteria. Author-driven structure: Organized around themes rather than following a rigid protocol. Descriptive synthesis: Summarizes findings without quantitative analysis. Purpose: To inform, educate, or provide a critical viewpoint on a topic. Common Uses: Introducing emerging topics or concepts. Providing background for research proposals. Highlighting trends, gaps, or controversies in a field. narrative_review.txt Last modified: 2025/05/18 10:11by administrador
