Methodological ressources for literature reviews
LIEPP promotes interdisciplinary literature reviews as a tool for public policy evaluation.
Several sessions of its METHEVAL seminar have been devoted to this issue, and a section of its calls for projects is dedicated to funding interdisciplinary literature reviews.
This page aims to bring together and make accessible methodological resources for conducting different types of literature reviews in order to facilitate this practice.

The scoping review
"The scoping review" or "mapping review" is a more recent approach. Its objective is to take a rapid stock of knowledge on a subject (scientific research and/or other types of literature). [The exploratory literature review remains above all a work of identification research, essentially descriptive in nature, with broader inclusion criteria than a systematic review.
Methodological note by Chloé Mour
The systematic literature review
"A systematic review attempts to collate all empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria in order to answer a specific research question. It uses explicit, systematic methods that are selected with a view to minimizing bias, thus providing more reliable findings from which conclusions can be drawn and decisions made" (Antman 1992, Oxman 1993)
