Conducting systematic, scoping, and narrative literature reviews. Covers PRISMA/PRISMA-ScR protocols, search strategy (Boolean, MeSH), database selection (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase), screening, data extraction, evidence synthesis (narrative, meta-analysis, thematic), and reporting. Use when planning or executing a formal literature review.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Conducting a Literature Review ## Overview A literature review systematically identifies, appraises, and synthesizes published evidence on a defined research question. The method ranges from informal narrative reviews to highly structured systematic reviews with meta-analysis. Choosing the correct review type, building a reproducible search strategy, and applying transparent inclusion/exclusion criteria are the foundational decisions that determine whether a review can be trusted and published in a high-impact journal.

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/literature-review@sha256:e69090c98e7b6ffeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
