Review Articles • Review articles provide an overview of the state of the art in an area or an update in an area of current interest in educational and behavioral sciences. • The function of a review article is to organize literature, evaluate literature, identify patterns and trends in the literature, synthesize literature, identify research gaps and recommend new research area. Types of Review Articles Considered for Publication in CJEBS • Argumentative Review: it examines literature selectively in order to support or refute an argument, deeply entrenched assumption, or philosophical problem already established in the literature. The purpose is to develop a body of literature that establishes a contrarian viewpoint. • Integrative Review: A form of research that reviews, critiques, and synthesizes representative literature on a topic in an integrated way such that new frameworks and perspectives on the topic are generated. A well-done integrative review meets the same standards as primary research in regard to clarity, rigor, and replication. • Methodological Review: this review methods of analysis provides a framework of understanding at different levels (i.e. those of theory, substantive fields, research approaches, and data collection and analysis techniques), how researchers draw upon a wide variety of knowledge ranging from the conceptual level to practical documents for use in fieldwork in the areas of ontological and epistemological consideration, quantitative and qualitative integration, sampling, interviewing, data collection, and data analysis. It highlights strengths and weaknesses of methodological tools and explores how methods constrain or open up opportunities for learning about educational problems. • Systematic Review: this form consists of an overview of existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-specified and standardized methods to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to collect, report, and analyze data from the studies that are included in the review. The goal is to critically evaluate, and summarize scientifically all of the research about a clearly defined research problem. • Theoretical Review: the theoretical literature review helps to establish what theories already exist, the relationships between them, to what degree the existing theories have been investigated, and to develop new hypotheses to be tested. • Best-Evidence Synthesis: a best-evidence synthesis offers an alternative to both a meta-analytic and a narrative review, combining systematic quantitative methods with the attention to individual studies and substantive issues of a narrative point of view and with its focus on the best evidence in a field. It adds rational, systematic methods in study-selection and effectiveness of treatment (by use of effect size). • Narrative Review: a narrative review summarizes different primary studies from which conclusions may be drawn into a holistic interpretation contributed by the reviewers’ own experience, existing theories and models. • Thematic Review: a thematic review describes particular area of the literature. The purpose of the outcomes often is to identify weaknesses and to disseminate key steps for an improvement on the particular issue. It provides an in-depth examination of principles and procedures through evaluation of relevant objectives. • State-Of-The-Art Review: it considers mainly the most current research in a given area or concerning a given topic. It often summarizes current and emerging trends, research priorities and standardizations in a particular field of interest. • Historical Review: Historical literature reviews focus on examining research throughout a period of time, often starting with the first time an issue, concept, theory; phenomena emerged in the literature, then tracing its evolution within the scholarship of a discipline. • Research Critique: It provides a critical assessment of the literature based on individual understandings. It reflects implications for the field of education and behavioral sciences with regard to the selected topics. • Forum Paper: A forum paper is a paper presenting new ideas or a reaction to published materials stimulating debate. • Meta-Analysis: it is a statistical technique offering a possibility to classify and measure the conditions and results of studies on a more precise and rigor way compared with verbal descriptions of research.
