Abstract
FORNARI, Lucimara Fabiana and PINHO, Isabel. Literature Review with the support of digital tools: advances and challenges. NTQR [online]. 2022, vol.10, e512. Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 2184-7770. https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.10.2022.e512.
Framework: Literature Review is an important step in any research project. Knowing how to review through digital tools can enhance collaboration between researchers and thus obtain more relevant results. In digital environments, collaborative work is essential for the creation of knowledge; therefore, using tools that allow the sharing of knowledge, experiences and resources is a way to improve the Literature Review. Goals: To present a Literature Review made using digital tools; report the sequential steps of this trajectory; reflect on the use of webQDA for qualitative analysis of Literature Review. Chapter organization: The chapter starts with a brief introduction on the subject, followed by the Literature Review presentation session with the support of a digital tool. This session will cover the main steps of a review and how they apply to webQDA. In addition, an example of bibliometric analysis is presented. At the end, there is a reflection on the development of Literature Review with the support of digital tools, highlighting the main potentialities of using this technology to produce qualitative syntheses. Final considerations: Digital tools emerge as an important support to researchers for the elaboration of Literature Review, especially in the stages of selection, treatment, and synthesis of studies. These tools also favour the optimization of data organization, the transparency of the methodological path and the credibility of scientific evidence. Also, the study reveals new research opportunities from the combination of different methodological approaches, such as bibliometric analysis (quantitative) and content analysis (qualitative).
