Literature
Review using
Mendeley
A reference manager software is a
very important tool for
researchers.
It allows them to collect, manage,
and also publish their
bibliographic citations in a new
article.
Many reference managers are
available on the market. So, which
one should be chosen? To answer
this question, many features must
be taken into consideration.

4. Systematic Review: What & Why?
What:
“systematic review is a specific methodology that locates existing studies, selects and
evaluates contributions, analyses and synthesizes data, and reports the evidence in such a
way that allows reasonably clear conclusions to be reached about what is and is not known.”
(Denyer and Tranfield, 2011: 671).
Why:
• Transparent - easy to go back to
• Identification of relevant literature
• Justification for inclusion /exclusion of concepts
• Identify current gaps in literature
• Confidence that main literature has been addressed.
• Saves time
