What is the difference between scoping and integrative literature review?
Hello RG colleagues. Can anyone shed light on the major difference between scoping and integrative review of literature. Been reading about it and it seems like both share very common features. Thank you very much.
Most recent answer
An integrative review is a better tool when there is a paucity of quality research on a specific topic and other types of literature may need to be included.

While the scoping review aims to map the literature, seeking to describe the results in a graphic and classificatory way to have a better ideia on what is there, Integrative review proposes to integrate the literature found on a determined object of investigation.

Hi Dr. Rama I. Ali . Any thoughts on this?
"Scoping reviews have great utility for synthesizing research evidence and are often used to [categorize or group] existing literature in a given field in terms of its nature, features, and volume."
"The integrative review method is an approach that allows for the inclusion of diverse methodologies (i.e. experimental and non-experimental research)."

Khansaa Azeez Obayes Al-Husseini thanks for replying to my query. I am a bit confused. There are a lot of papers I have read with varying interpretation between scoping and integrative review.

I have the same question! :) if a scoping study is a kind of a pre-study look at something, would you use it as an actual method for a journal paper? why not then use an integrative lit review?

For this issue, perhaps a scoping review could be necessary. Of course it has already been done and is right here on the RG: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26260835_A_typology_of_reviews_An_analysis_of_14_review_types_and_associated_methologies
