The first review type we have to mention is the glorious SLR. A comprehensive and methodical approach, SLRs systematically gather, appraise, and synthesize existing literature to answer specific research questions. Nested Knowledge provides a structured framework to facilitate the rigorous process of SLRs, ensuring clarity and transparency in evidence synthesis.

- | * **Scoping Review:** | ||
For researchers aiming to map the landscape of existing literature on a particular topic, Nested Knowledge provides tools for conducting scoping reviews. This approach helps define the breadth and depth of available evidence, setting the stage for more focused investigations. | For researchers aiming to map the landscape of existing literature on a particular topic, Nested Knowledge provides tools for conducting scoping reviews.

+ | ===== Gap Analysis ===== | ||
Nested Knowledge supports researchers in identifying gaps in existing literature through comprehensive gap analyses. By systematically reviewing the current state of knowledge, researchers can pinpoint areas where further research is needed, contributing to the advancement of their respective fields. | Nested Knowledge supports researchers in identifying gaps in existing literature through comprehensive gap analyses.
