From a Class Paper to a Publishable Review
Conference Proposals and Article Types

There are several distinctive types of reviews:

· Integrative reviews seek to synthesize and critique a diverse body of professional knowledge.

· Systematic reviews deliberately narrow the scope of a review to yield an evidence-based decision.

· Meta-analytic reviews set criteria for inclusion and conduct a quantitative analysis of data from previously published research to arrive at patterns

· Qualitative reviews supply one person’s narrative interpretation of a diverse body of literature to promote further reflection and accept multiple perspectives (Jalongo & Heider, 2014)
