Worth reading this by @salthorne 'On empty, redundant or pointless systematic reviews', a lovely piece in Nursing Inquiry onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
@CarlRMay @salthorne thank you- it is well worth reading and reflecting on
@CarlRMay @seyeabimbola @salthorne Spot on @salthorne ! “And to be fair, some systematic reviews actually achieve that end. However, many more miss the mark, and it seems important to reflect on why that would be the case.”
@CarlRMay @salthorne Really enjoyed this article. I can’t stand seeing reviews where there’s one or two articles included and absolutely no further information about the body of work that might help answer any useful question. I’ve seen so many like that! What a waste of time.
@CarlRMay @DrHelenAnderson @salthorne Well that seems like the right direction
@CarlRMay @CindyFBrooks @salthorne Thanks for sharing! Wonderfully thoughtful piece
@CarlRMay @salthorne There are several topics with more systematic reviews than primary research… …a bad sign!😂
@CarlRMay @MerkovaMiri — might be worth reading?🤓
@CarlRMay @kieran_walshe @salthorne ‘we may be at risk for sliding into a scholarly culture in which it is the methodologically tight technological product that trumps the critically reflective thoughtful discussion piece’. We are way beyond this, sadly. The obsession with systematic reviews is all-encompassing.
