Systematic Review of Literature
Uses a research method performed by synthesizing the results of original studies, quantitative or qualitative, with the objective of answering a specific question of relevance to Nursing and/or related areas. It describes in detail the process of searching for original studies, the criteria used to select those included in the review and the procedures used to synthesize the results obtained by the reviewed studies (which may or may not be meta-analysis or meta-synthesis procedures). The premises of the systematic review are: exhaustiveness in the search for studies, justified selection of studies by means of explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluation of methodological quality, as well as the use of statistical techniques to quantify the results. Maximum of 5.000 words.
Bibliometrics
Bibliometric research relies on studies conducted in bibliographic databases, indexers and abstracts, in directories and catalogs of journal titles, and in references and citations. Among others, its most frequent and most relevant field of application for this work is the identification of the thematic characteristics of the literature. In short, bibliometric research is done by studying the quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of published information. Maximum of 5,000 words.
Integrative Review of the Literature
It uses a research method that presents a synthesis of multiple published studies and allows general conclusions about a particular area of knowledge, carried out in a systematic and orderly manner, and contributes to deepening knowledge of the subject under investigation. It is necessary to follow standards of methodological rigor, clarity in the presentation of results, so that the reader can identify the actual characteristics of the studies included in the review. Integrative review steps: identification of theme and selection of research hypothesis or question for the study design, establishment of criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies/sampling, or literature search, definition of information to be extracted from the selected studies/categorization of studies, assessment of studies included in the review, interpretation of results, presentation of review/knowledge synthesis. Maximum of 5.000 words.
Scope Review
It is defined as a type of study that seeks to explore the main concepts of the topic in question, investigate the dimension, scope and nature of the study, condensing and publishing the data, thus pointing out gaps in existing research. Studies in this category must follow high methodological rigor, authors are encouraged to register their protocol in the Open Science Framework – OSF (https://osf.io/). The registration number reported in the manuscript. For construction, scoping review protocols must follow the PRISMA-ScR recommendations (https://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/prisma-scr/).
