Knowledge Synthesis and Systematic Reviews
Research in this area uses a systematic approach to identify, appraise and synthesize information on specific topics. This includes systematic reviews and other types of reviews, but it also extends to bibliometric, network and content analyses to discover trends in research, collaboration, or publishing.
