Critical Realist Considerations for Literature Reviews

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

This article adopts a critical realist approach to conducting literature reviews, an approach which attempts to discern the latent theoretical concepts underlying apparently disparate empirical investigations to synthesize diverse yet commensurable primary studies. Following the general model of a systematic review, it makes various comments with a specific goal of developing theory from a critical realist perspective.
