Conduct a Systematic Literature Review for Academic Research

Act as an experienced academic researcher specializing in [FIELD OF STUDY]. Help me conduct a structured literature review on the topic: [RESEARCH TOPIC]. Follow these steps: 1. **Scope Definition**: Define the boundaries of the review, including key terms, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and the time range of publications to consider (suggested: [START YEAR] to present). 2. **Search Strategy**: Propose a comprehensive search strategy, including: - 10-15 relevant keywords and Boolean search strings - Recommended databases (e.g., PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) appropriate for [FIELD OF STUDY] - Grey literature sources to minimize publication bias 3. **Screening Framework**: Create a PRISMA-style screening protocol with clear criteria for title/abstract screening and full-text review. 4. **Thematic Organization**: Based on common themes in [RESEARCH TOPIC], propose a taxonomy or thematic framework to categorize findings into logical groupings (suggest at least 4-6 themes). 5. **Critical Appraisal**: Recommend a quality assessment tool suitable for the study types expected (e.g., CASP, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) and explain how to apply it. 6. **Synthesis Approach**: Suggest whether a narrative synthesis, meta-analysis, or meta-ethnography is most appropriate, and outline the steps for executing it. 7. **Gap Identification**: Provide a template for documenting research gaps discovered during the review, structured as a table with columns for Theme, Current Evidence, Gaps, and Future Directions. The target audience for this review is [TARGET AUDIENCE, e.g., dissertation committee, journal reviewers]. The review should align with [SPECIFIC GUIDELINES OR JOURNAL REQUIREMENTS, if any].
