A Guidance to Systematic Literature Review to Young Researchers by Telkom University and the University of Turin

The purpose of a systematic literature review is to provide a clear and objective summary of the current state of knowledge on a particular topic, identify gaps in the literature


Introduction
A systematic literature review is a comprehensive, methodical approach to identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing all available research on a specific research question or topic (Devos et al., 2011).It involves a thorough and systematic search of published and unpublished literature using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a rigorous evaluation of the quality and relevance of the identified studies (Nafisa et al., 2022).The purpose of a systematic literature review is to provide a summary of the existing evidence on a particular topic, to identify any gaps in knowledge, and to identify areas where further research is needed (Rahayu & Tupan, 2020).It is typically used in academic research, healthcare, and other fields where evidence-based decision-making is critical (Amier & Pradana, 2022).
A well-conducted systematic literature review involves a detailed and transparent methodology, which includes defining the research question, developing inclusion and exclusion criteria, performing a comprehensive search of the literature, screening and selecting studies, extracting data from selected studies, and synthesizing the results (Porter, 2002).
Overall, a systematic literature review is an essential tool for ensuring that decisions and recommendations are based on the best available evidence.There are several advantages of conducting a systematic literature review, including: • Comprehensive coverage: Systematic literature reviews are designed to provide a comprehensive overview of all available literature on a particular topic, which can help researchers and practitioners to make evidence-based decisions.• Reducing bias: By following a rigorous and transparent methodology, systematic literature reviews can help to reduce bias in the selection and analysis of studies, which can increase the credibility of the findings.• Identifying gaps: Systematic literature reviews can help to identify gaps in the literature, highlighting areas where further research is needed and providing direction for future studies.• Synthesizing evidence: By synthesizing the findings of multiple studies, systematic literature reviews can provide a more robust and reliable overview of the evidence on a particular topic than individual studies can (Secinaro et al., 2022).• Enhancing reproducibility: Systematic literature reviews are designed to be transparent and reproducible, which can enhance the credibility of the research and enable others to replicate the study or build on its findings (Pradana et al., 2023).
Overall, the advantages of systematic literature reviews make them a valuable tool for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers looking to make evidencebased decisions (Bai et al., 2019).In order to introduce this methodology to wider audience, the department of Master of Business Administration, Telkom University, cooperated with department of Management at the University of Turin, Italy.By inviting three researchers to a hybrid session, we organized a workshop with the title: "How to Do A Systematic Literature Review?A Useful Method for Research and Thesis".This event was attended by young researchers in Bandung, Indonesia.As we experienced in our research methodology classes and webinars, a lot of students still have little understanding of this methodology.Hence, we organized this event to deepen the knowledge related to it.

Methodology
The workshop with the title: "How to Do A Systematic Literature Review?A Useful Method for Research and Thesis" was held on April 11, 2023, and took place in a classroom at the Pascasarjana Building of Telkom University, Bandung, Indonesia.Although set up as a joint lecture between Telkom University and the University of Turin, the hybrid session was not limited to young researchers at Telkom University only.The initial objective of this session was indeed to introduce this method to wider audience and public (Novanto & Pradana, 2021).In both online and onsite room, this session was attended by 90 audience from the beginning to the end.
The use of systematic literature review was deemed interesting by the participants who asked questions and would like to practice more about it.The session was moderated by Mahir Pradana, a researcher at the department of Master of Business Administration, Telkom University.The speakers from the University of Turin are:

Researcher in Business Administration at the Department of Management, University of Turin (Italy).He is the author of numerous publications on accounting, Islamic economy and finance, public administrations, entrepreneurship, circular economy, and technology adoption in businesses.Now, he is particularly interested in blockchain and artificial intelligence, and he is currently studying the impact of these "disruptive" technology in the accounting, auditing, and accountability field.From this event, a systematic literature review is explained as a method that involves a structured and comprehensive approach to identifying, analyzing, and synthesizing all relevant research studies on a particular topic.The following are the typical steps involved in conducting a systematic literature review: •

Results and Day of the Event
This session was attended by 90 audience from the beginning to the end.Besides having a 2-hours lecture and discussion, the output of this activity is to arrange a module about systematic literature review.structured literature review can provide better build-up to the theoretical part of a research paper (Zaman et al., 2021).

Conclusion
Systematic literature reviews are an important method for synthesizing evidence from multiple studies and are widely used in various fields of research.However, like any research method, there are limitations that should be considered.First, the time and resource-intensive.Systematic literature reviews require a significant amount of time and resources to conduct.The process of identifying relevant studies, screening them, extracting data, and synthesizing findings can be laborious and time-consuming.Moreover, the quality and quantity of studies available on a particular topic can affect the findings of a systematic literature review.If there are very few studies available or if the studies are of low quality, the results of the review may be limited.
Systematic reviews are also vulnerable to publication bias, where studies with positive or statistically significant results are more likely to be published than studies with negative or non-significant results.This can lead to overestimation of the effect size or impact of an intervention.The studies included in a systematic literature review may be heterogeneous in terms of study design, participant characteristics, interventions, and outcomes.This heterogeneity can make it challenging to compare and combine the results of studies.
Other limitation is systematic reviews may be limited by language bias, where studies published in languages other than English may be missed, resulting in incomplete data.There is also interpretation bias: Systematic reviews may be subject to interpretation bias, where reviewers may interpret the results of the studies in a biased or subjective manner.Last, systematic reviews may become outdated quickly as new studies are published, particularly in rapidly evolving fields (Willayat et al., 2022).
It is important to note that these limitations can be minimized through careful planning and execution of the systematic review process.By having this activity, we would like to make young researchers aware about the advantages and disadvantages of systematic literature review methodology.
