Rapid Reviews
Reviews that generally follow the guidelines of a systematic review, but are conducted in a condensed time by implementing documented time-saving measures.
A general term that describes a study that assimilates, synthesizes or describes the findings of more than one study or review.
This is a review with a wide scope and non-standardized methodology. Synthesis is typically narrative.
The literature search does not need to be comprehensive or systematic.
These reviews typically do not attempt to address a single research question, but are more broad in scope and have no explicit criteria for inclusion.
Structured Literature Review
Also known as a Systematized Review.
Not formally defined.
Usually attempts to include elements of the systematic review process.
Often conducted as a postgraduate assignment or thesis.
