Systematic Literature Review

A rigorous research methodology that systematically identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes all relevant studies on a particular topic using predefined criteria and transparent processes. Systematic literature reviews in accessibility research help map the state of the field, identify gaps, and guide future research directions. Key components include defined research questions, systematic search strategies, inclusion/exclusion criteria, coding rubrics, and structured analysis. Common reporting standards include PRISMA guidelines, though not all HCI reviews follow these protocols.
