    Literature reviews are an essential part of academic research and serve to provide a comprehensive

    overview of existing literature on a particular topic. They help researchers evaluate and integrate
    existing knowledge, identify research gaps, and inform their own studies. There are different types of
    literature reviews, each with its own focus and purpose. Let's discuss a few of the most common types
    and their differences:

    1. Narrative Literature Review: A narrative literature review provides a comprehensive summary and
    synthesis of existing literature on a specific topic. It involves a qualitative analysis of a wide range of
    sources, such as research articles, books, and other relevant publications. Narrative reviews aim to
    provide a descriptive overview of the field, highlight key concepts, and identify patterns or trends within
    the literature.

    2. Systematic Literature Review (SLR): A systematic literature review follows a structured and rigorous
    methodology to identify, evaluate, and synthesize relevant studies on a specific research question. It
    involves a systematic search and screening process, predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a
    critical appraisal of the quality and relevance of identified studies. SLRs aim to provide a comprehensive
    and unbiased summary of the available evidence on a specific research topic.

    3. Meta-Analysis: A meta-analysis is a quantitative review that involves the statistical analysis of data
    from multiple studies to obtain an overall estimation of the effect size or relationship between variables.
    It combines the results of individual studies that meet specific inclusion criteria and provides a more
    precise estimation of the effect than any single study. Meta-analyses are particularly useful when the
    included studies have similar research designs and measure similar outcomes.

    4. Scoping Review: A scoping review aims to map the existing literature on a broad research topic,
    identifying key concepts, sources, and research gaps. It involves a comprehensive search and screening
    process and can include a variety of study designs and publication types. Scoping reviews provide an
    overview of the available evidence and help researchers understand the extent and range of literature
    on a topic, making them helpful for exploring emerging or interdisciplinary research areas.

    These are just a few examples of the different types of literature reviews. While narrative reviews
    provide a broad understanding of a topic, systematic reviews focus on methodological rigor and
    synthesizing evidence. Meta-analyses take the analysis a step further by quantitatively pooling and
    analyzing data from multiple studies. Scoping reviews, on the other hand, provide an initial exploration
    of a topic and help identify research gaps.
    It's important to choose the appropriate type of literature review based on your research goals, the
    scope of your topic, and the available evidence. Consulting with your supervisor or following specific
    guidelines from your field can help you determine the most suitable approach for your study.

    I hope this helps clarify the different types of literature reviews and their differences! If you have any
    further questions, feel free to ask.
