Abstract

Systematic literature review is a type of scientific investigation that follows rigid, transparent, and specific protocols to describe all the steps of search, identification, selection, data collection, analysis and description of a research. The article discusses some renowned organizations that perform systematic reviews, such as Cochrane and Campbell Collaboration, highlighting the dissemination of this method in different areas of knowledge. Systematic review is vital in consolidating theories and methods in Information Science, with an improving frequency of use of the method in IS publications according to indicators on the Information Science Database Portal. By means of a narrative bibliographic review on the systematic literature review we describe an exemplary process applied to Information Science, detailing its four phases (plan, execute, audit, report and publish), consisting of 27 activities. The method described in this article will facilitate the understanding of Information Science students and professors, collaborating to expand its use in their investigations.
