In this study, we first develop a framework that presents systematicity as an encompassing orientation toward the application of explicit methods in practice literature reviews, informed by principles transparency, coverage, saturation, connectedness, universalism, and coherence. We then supplement conceptual development with empirical insights into reported practices sample 165 published reviews across three journals organizational research. finally trace implications for future conduct...
