Its purpose is to demonstrate that the writer has insightfully and critically surveyed relevant literature on his or her topic in order to convince an intended audience that the topic is worth addressing” (Clark et al., 2006). 11 Purpose of a Literature Review? Research Process Establish research context Justify the research Ensure that research has not been done before Show why the question is significant Understand the structure of the problem Demonstrate your knowledge of the field Illustrate and describe previous research Outline gaps and highlight flaws in previous research Synthesize previous perspectives and develop your own perspective Help refine, refocus, or even move the topic in a new direction Literature Review 12 What is involved in a Literature Review? § Research – to discover what has been done about the topic; § Critical Appraisal – to evaluate the literature, determine the relationship between the sources and ascertain what has been done already and what still needs to be done; and § Writing – to explain what you have found This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY 13 Literature Review Should be § Comprehensive Evidence should be gathered from all relevant sources § Referenced Provide full references and citations for reviewed papers § Develop context Select and source the information that is necessary to develop a context for your research § Selective Use acceptable search strategy to find the most important evidence § Balanced Provide evidence from papers with different findings 14 § Relevant literature Focus and relates to previous research on the same topic § Importance of your contribution Reveals the contribution that your research makes to the field of your study § Critical analysis Understand and critically analyse the previous research § Analytical Develop new ideas from the evidence that may help explain your findings later § Writing skills Show your ability to write clearly and concisely your arguments and conclusions Literature Review Should NOT be § Straightforward summary of everything you have read on the topic. § Chronological description of what was discovered in your field. § Background information or explanations of concepts § A descriptive list of papers or summaries of research § Organized around the sources with each described in great detail § An argument for the importance of what you are researching with no contextualisation of key issues 15 Types of Literature Review It can be: § Comprehensiv e or Selective § Standalone work or Part of larger work The purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are Such as: • Course assignment • Part of the introduction to an essay, research paper or research proposal • Thesis/dissertation • Traditional or narrative literature review • Systematic literature review • Meta-analysis 16 Literature Review 17 Literature Review 18 Sources of Literature The term “sources” refers to material needed to conduct the literature review, which could be summarized in three types: § Primary source: is a direct description of a research study written by a researcher who conducted the study. § Secondary source: is a review of studies summarizing and providing new interpretations built from and often extending beyond the original study. § Tertiary source: include perceptions, conclusions, opinions, and interpretations that are informally shared. Finally, a literature review might use a combination of primary and secondary sources since its purpose is to document and analyze what has been published on the given topic 19 Sources of Literature Primary Articles/Reports Theses Emails Conference proceedings Company reports Unpublished manuscript sources Some government publications Secondary Books Journals Newspapers Some government publication Increasing time to publish Increasing level of details 20 Tertiary Indexes Abstracts Catalogues Encyclopaedias Dictionaries Bibliographies Citation indexes Sources of Literature § Journal articles: These are the premier source, especially for up-to-date information. They are frequently used in literature reviews because they offer a relatively concise, up-to-date format for research. Depending on the publication, these materials may Peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed literature Non-peer reviewed literature such as Trade Journals, or magazines use less rigorous standards of screening prior to publication. Non-peer reviewed literature may not be checked as intensely as refereed materials, but many can still be considered useful, although NOT for scientific literature and research. § Books: Remember that books tend to be less up-to-date, as it takes longer for a book to be published than for a journal article. They are still likely to be useful for including in your literature review as they offer a good starting point from which to find more detailed and upto-date sources of information. § Conference proceedings: These can be useful in providing the latest research, or research that has not been published. They are also helpful in providing information about people in different research areas, and so can be helpful in tracking down other work by the same researchers. 21 Sources of Literature § Government/corporate reports/Guidelines: Many government departments and corporations commission carry out research. Their published findings can provide a useful source of information, depending on your field of study. § Theses and dissertations: These can be useful sources of information. However, there are disadvantages: They can be difficult to obtain since they are not published but are generally only available from the library or interlibrary systems. The student who carried out the research may not be an experienced researcher and therefore you might have to treat their findings with more caution than published research. § Internet: The fastest-growing source of information is on the Internet. Bear in mind that anyone can post information on the Internet so the quality may not be reliable. The information you find may be intended for a general audience and so not be suitable for inclusion in your literature review (information for a general audience is usually less detailed). 22 Classification of Literature Review A wide range of literature review types that are available for research synthesis for publication and research purposes.

Modern MetaAnalysis: Review and Update of Methodologies: Springer Cham. 34 Putting all this together 35 Review § All review articles in the health sciences require: – An extensive search of the literature – The extraction of key information from relevant articles – The clear and concise presentation of this information § Conducting a review is one way to become an expert in the literature on a welldefined topic § Well-written and comprehensive review often become foundational for new research in the field because they summarize what is known about an area of inquiry 36 Review § A narrative review/literature review provides a unique perspective about a topic by using evidence from the literature to support the author’s commentary § Narrative reviews must be carefully organized by theme, methodology, chronology, or some other guiding principle § Narrative reviews are becoming less common as editors and reviewers push for the use of systematic methods – A narrative review works best when the researcher has a unique perspective on a topic and a particular expertise in the field that can be drawn on without using a systematic search strategy 37 Review § A systematic review uses a predetermined and comprehensive searching and screening method to identify relevant articles § An unbiased search strategy should be able to identify all the articles ever published on the narrow, well-defined area covered by the review § Each candidate article is screened to see whether it meets all of the inclusion criteria § Relevant information is extracted from all eligible articles and presented in a summary table, then the trends and key observations are summarized 38 Review § Meta-analysis is the calculation of a pooled statistic that combines the results of similar studies identified during a systematic review – The values included in the calculation of a summary statistic should come from high-quality quantitative studies that used similar methods to collect and analyze their data – A summary statistic is meaningful only when every study included in the meta-analysis used similar definitions and methods – Trying to combine dissimilar studies could hide real and meaningful differences among the study populations 39 Review 40 Steps in The Literature Review 1 Choose a topic and frame questions 2 Identify relevant databases and resources 3 Search and refine 41 4 Read and analyse 5 Write the review Steps in The Literature Review 42 Steps in The Literature Review PICOTT Description Example P: Patient/Participant/ Population or Problem Patient or the problem to be addressed Consider age, sex, socioeconomic status, etc. Adult with sleep bruxism I: Intervention Exposure to be consideredtreatment/test Occlusal splint C: Comparison/Comparator/Cont rol Control or comparison intervention/placebo/standar d of care. comparison not always present No treatment O: Outcome(s) The deserved outcome should be measurable Pain T: Time frame time for data collection e.g., 1 YEAR T: Type of study Covered in the last lecture 43 RCT Steps in The Literature Review 44 Steps in The Literature Review In order to select the best database for your particular question you need to know… What each database specializes in.

To use this tool, enter your search terms in the search bar and select filters before searching Scopus Citation data, journal impact metrics, and journal indexing. Includes all of MEDLINE and Embase TRIP a clinical search engine designed to allow users to quickly and easily find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care Steps in The Literature Review 47 Steps in The Literature Review § Finding background information: - It is useful to have general background on your topic by using a review article, encyclopedia or reference book - It gives you an overall understanding of your topic and will help you find some direction for building your search § The search could be carried out by the different search engines detailed above, nevertheless, PubMed, WoS and Scopus are the primary databases for researchers in health research. 48 Steps in The Literature Review Keywords vs. subject headings § Keyword searches are the most common method of identifying literature § All papers should contain keywords. § The use of keywords enables easy access to papers on the same or similar topics § However, keywords need to be carefully considered in order to select terms that will generate the data being sought. § the keywords used to identify terms may differ (e.g., teen, teens, teenager, adolescence, etc.) Subject headings § To overcome the potential problems when keywords are used in a search, we can use the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) system, also called descriptors, MeSH terms, index terms, or controlled vocabulary. § Professional indexers review each article in a database and add subject headings to the article’s database record to reflect what the article is about. 49 Steps in The Literature Review Basic search strategies § Start with PubMed, § It's usually best to start fairly broad; § Later, you can add limits or filters, to help narrow the search. § Identify your topic, and then break it down into concepts or keywords. § DON’T use “natural language” § DON’T abbreviate § DON’T use general search words like “comparison”, “cause”, or “versus” § DON’T apply limiters unless you need to § DON’T get too specific too quickly § DON’T pay for an article 50 Steps in The Literature Review Advanced search strategies § Boolean Searching “Boolean logic” is a system that allows you to set relationships between keywords or concepts when searching. The most commonly used Boolean commands are AND, OR, and NOT. Using these operators can make your searches more precise and save time. § AND NARROWS: Tells the database that you only want articles that contain ALL of the search terms § OR EXPANDS: Tells the database that you want all articles that contain EITHER of the terms § NOT EXCLUDES: Tells the database that you do not want any articles that contain a certain term 51 Steps in The Literature Review Advanced search strategies § AND NARROWS: Tells the database that you only want articles that contain ALL of the search terms § OR EXPANDS: Tells the database that you want all articles that contain EITHER of the terms § NOT EXCLUDES: Tells the database that you do not want any articles that contain a certain term 52 Steps in The Literature Review Advanced search strategies Using Wildcards, Truncation and Exact Phrase • Databases also often have features to help you search similar words or phrases. • Most databases use the symbol * or # for truncation or wildcard symbols. • Use the Database's Help tab to verify the correct symbol. 53 Steps in The Literature Review Advanced search strategies In narrowing the literature selection, more focused screening criteria are taken into consideration, such as: § Date of publication: ex: only studies conducted between 2005 and 2012 § Participants or subjects: ex: children 6 to 12 years of age § Publication language: ex: documents written in English § Research design: ex: clinical trials § Authors: ex: well-known author in a specific field § Journal: ex: high impact journal § Relevance: ex: similar objectives addressed, and methodologies adopted 54 Steps in The Literature Review Selected studies Constructing a summary table or Excel Sheet of selected material will serve as a tool to organize a researcher's work. ● Chronological: Organize by time ● Thematic: Organize by theme ● Methodological: Organize by methodology ● Theoretical: Organize by theoretical approach 55 Steps in The Literature Review 56 Steps in The Literature Review Critical Reading – to evaluate the literature, determine the relationship between the sources and ascertain what has been done already and what still needs to be done Initial reading plan: § Re-read the abstract § Look carefully at the tables and figures, which usually display the most important results § Read the entire text of the article § Review the reference list for any additional sources that should be read 57 Steps in The Literature Review Critical Reading – to evaluate the literature, determine the relationship between the sources and ascertain what has been done already and what still needs to be done 58 Steps in The Literature Review 59 Steps in The Literature Review To help you frame and write your literature review, think about these five C’s (Callahan, 2014): Cite Compare Contrast Critique Cite the material you have referred to and used to help you define the research problem that you will study Compare the various arguments, theories, methods, and findings expressed in the literature. For example, describe where the various researchers agree and where they disagree. Describe the similarities and dissimilarities in approaches to studying related research problems Contrast the various arguments, themes, methods, approaches, and controversies apparent and/or described in the literature. For example, describe what major areas are contested, controversial and/or still in debate. Critique the literature. Describe which arguments you find more persuasive and explain why. Explain which approaches, findings, and methods seem most reliable, valid, appropriate, and/or most popular and why. Pay attention to the verbs you use to describe what previous researchers have stated (e.g., asserts, demonstrates, argues, clarifies, etc.). Callahan, J. L. (2014).

Most dental caries in children and adolescents occur on the first molar pits and fissures. Clinical studies have shown that sealants and fluoride varnishes prevent caries better than no intervention. However, which one is more effective is uncertain. For permanent teeth of children and adolescents, does the fissure sealants prevent dental caries when compared to fluoride varnish? Permanent teeth of 6-18 yrs. Fissure sealants Fluoride varnish Caries To assess whether fissure sealants or fluoride varnishes are more effective for preventing dental caries in permanent teeth of children and adolescents https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov § 70 § § To compare fissure sealants to fluoride varnishes or fissure sealants and varnishes to fluoride varnishes alone for preventing dental caries in permanent teeth of children and adolescents To assess the impact of sealant material type and follow-up duration on efficacy.
