Mapping Review

A mapping review (also called a systematic map or evidence map) is a form of systematic review that aims to chart the extent, range, and nature of evidence on a broad topic rather than synthesize findings into a single pooled answer. It categorizes studies by key dimensions — such as intervention type, population, outc

Meta-ethnography

Meta-ethnography is a systematic method for synthesising findings across multiple qualitative studies by comparing and translating the conceptual frameworks and metaphors each study uses. Developed by Noblit and Hare in 1988, it produces a new interpretive account that goes beyond any single study, preserving the richn

Meta-Regression-Based Co-Word Analysis

Meta-regression-based co-word analysis is a hybrid scientometric technique that enriches traditional co-word mapping by weighting keyword co-occurrence networks with meta-regression-derived effect estimates.
