Systematic mapping of the literature: a key method for literature review & synthesis. #phd #academia
Synthesizing and reviewing the ever-growing academic literature is an important skill in academia and science in general. Most will know about narrative reviews and meta-analysis; but perhaps systematic mapping is a less well-known option. I explain the difference among these three approaches, how a systematic mapping is done, and what you can do with the results. #science #research #phd #phdlife #searchterms #review #literaturereview #literature Matthias Rillig, professor of ecology at Freie Universität Berlin, talks about life in academia.
