About the Book

"A straightforward approach for scholars new or familiar with systematic reviews. I felt invigorated to grab a team and begin work on a review after reading this text." - Audrey Conway Roberts, Bowling Green State University Systematic reviews aim to retrieve and synthesize existing research. This book describes the process of conducting systematic reviews in educational research and can be used by any social or behavioral scientist who is interested in research synthesis through systematic reviews. The readers are guided through author Florence Martin′s DISCAR process (designing, including/excluding, screening, coding, analyzing/synthesizing and reporting). In addition, the book also describes technologies used, ethical considerations, guidelines and future outlook for systematic reviews of research.
