Frameworks for developing impactful systematic literature reviews and theory building: What, Why and How?
Open accessAbstract
With the increased momentum of knowledge generation in the field of research, systematic reviews are essential to epitomise the state of extant literature and for theory building. In this article, we discuss the advantages of synthesising and reporting findings using a more impactful type of systematic review, the framework-based review. Additionally, we list and summarise some of the popularly used frameworks, TCCM (theories-contexts-characteristics-methods; Paul & Rosado-Serrano, 2019), ADO (antecedents-decisions-outcomes; Paul & Benito, 2018), 5W+ H (who, when, where, what, why, how; Callahan, Citation2014) and IMO (input-mediators-outcomes; Ilgen et al., Citation2005). We also provide methodological guidelines for conducting such a review.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
