Description

Systematic Reviews in the Social Sciences: A Practical Guide provides an overview of systematic literature review methods. Written by two highly-respected social scientists, this book outlines the rationale and methods of systematic reviews, using examples from diverse fields such as psychology, criminology, education, and more. The book covers key aspects of systematic reviews, including assessing research quality, searching for evidence, meta-analytic methods, publication bias, heterogeneity, and approaches to dissemination. It is designed to be accessible to readers with no prior knowledge, guiding them through the process stage by stage. By exploring these essential concepts, this practical guide helps social scientists effectively appraise, summarise, and communicate research findings from unmanageable quantities of data.
