Theoretical Foundations and Lessons Learned from the Systematic Scoping Review

Keywords: systematic literature review, PRISMA model, international and national literature

Abstract

In our study, we present an example of a literature collection and systematization process that underpins scientific research, the VosViewer application and the PRISMA model, which is increasingly popular in business, as well. The PRISMA model was originally developed in the field of health and medical research, which has gradually been generalised. Perhaps, all that is thanks to the popular free application of VosViewer. Additionally, we have also investigated how the artificial intelligence-led chatbot application can support the literature review phase.
We have experienced, discovered, and learned how to use systematic and scoping review, which means that our article is not from the scientific field of library and information science, but rather a sort of user manual, however it analyses and evaluates scientifically. The question is given: what is the added value of this technique compared to traditional or conventional literature collection? The investigated method (i.e., systematic review) is traced through secondary data (aka articles with the same methodology), pointing out both its true value and its pitfalls.

Our results show that these new methods are not a complete substitute for traditional literature review or systematisation, at least not for the reading and processing of literature, but they are an excellent starting point for the systematisation of international literature in English and, in our experience, in Hungarian, too. Finally, this method provides a track in order to discover a new direction for a possible research niche.
