Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of reasoning used during the integration of findings is synthesis. Synthesis involves compiling the findings from all of the selected studies and analyzing and interpreting clustered findings.
Emphasis is on what is known.
Often literature from other disciplines would be included in an integrative review.
If statistical analyses of the summarized research are conducted, that would be a meta-analysis and not necessarily part of an integrative review.
