| description | This article is the second in a series that examine the role of
literature reviews in rehabilitation research. Methods of generating new
knowledge from existing literature are categorized into three approaches:
synthetic literature reviews which interpret previous findings in narrative
fashion, quantitative literature reviews which summarize findings from primary
research studies using a variety "counting" approaches, and meta-analyses
which aggregate effect sizes from primary research studies and allow for a more
complex analysis of trends in the empirical research literature. This articles
examines the role that quantitative literature reviews can play in better
understanding the status of knowledge in rehabilitation research, thereby
shaping field practices as well as future scientific investigations. Examples
of quantitative reviews from contemporary rehabilitation and related health
sciences literature are provided throughout the article. |
