“…In this study, we used the ‘matrix method’ to abstract data from the retrieved studies (Goldman & Schmalz, 2004). As described by Goldman and Schmalz (2004), ‘the matrix method is a structure and process for systematically reviewing the literature and a system for bringing order’ to the resulting data.…”

“…As described by Goldman and Schmalz (2004), ‘the matrix method is a structure and process for systematically reviewing the literature and a system for bringing order’ to the resulting data. For the eight descriptive studies, our analyses consisted of summarizing data regarding corner store inventories, including food and beverage availability, quality, and shelf space, as well as sales.…”

Introduction An increasingly popular strategy to improving the food retail environment and promoting healthy eating in low-income and minority communities is the corner store conversion. This approach involves partnering with small ‘corner’ food stores to expand access to high-quality fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods. Methods We conducted a structured review of the literature to assess inventories and sales in corner stores, as well as to identify intervention strategies employed by corner store conversions. Results Our review returned eight descriptive studies that discussed corner store inventories and sales, as well as ten intervention studies discussing six unique corner store conversion interventions in the United States, the Marshall Islands, and Canada. Common intervention strategies included: 1) partnering with an existing store, 2) stocking healthy foods, and 3) social marketing and nutrition education. We summarize each strategy and review the effectiveness of overall corner store conversions at changing peoples’ food purchasing, preparation, and consumption behaviors. Conclusions Consumption of fresh, healthy, affordable foods could be improved by supporting existing retailers to expand their selection of healthy foods and promoting healthy eating at the neighborhood level. Additional corner store conversions should be conducted to determine the effectiveness and importance of specific intervention strategies.

“…A debatable consensus of literature review notion, so-called information synthesis (Goldschmidt, 1986) and the vast dynamics of knowledge, including language (Dakhi, 2011), stimulate the scholar's effort to define and divide it. It is simply grouped into traditional (Booth, Sutton, & Papaioannou, 2012) and systematic approach-based definitions (Cronin, Ryan, & Coughlan, 2007). Criticism, summary, and inference are credited to the traditional process, an opposite to the systematic one as a selected relevant study procedurally applying identification, comprehension, application, analysis, and synthesis.…”

“…Criticism, summary, and inference are credited to the traditional process, an opposite to the systematic one as a selected relevant study procedurally applying identification, comprehension, application, analysis, and synthesis. More technically, a traditional definition or a non-systematic review, a basis of scholarly material, is poorly conducted and reported (Booth, Sutton, & Papaioannou, 2012). Constructing the topic, the selection of methods, and demonstration that the research contributes something new (Webster & Watson, 2002), not merely an elaborated bibliography of multiple research manuscripts, are what writer(s) do.…”

A debatable consensus on and appropriate approaches to literature review function as the theoretical background of the paper. It redefines the literature review substance, synthesis, and procedure to literature matrix, and literature review assessment. In addition, some implications are to interpret the discussion. Finally, finding of the present study is applicable to any study fields at it generally provides matrix for which writing literature review can be easily conducted. Suggestions, identical to the potential of further studies and its application by on-going researcher and writer, are holistically provided.

“…In their article titled "The Matrix Method of Literature Reviews" by Goldman and Schmalz (2004), a stepwise advice is offered about the entire Literature Review process including the actual 'review' that requires the analysis, synthesis, and validation also mentioned by Brereton et al (2007). These steps, we conjecture, are amenable to underpinning with IT systems.…”

Research activity connects prior findings with new and emerging ideas in the hope of attracting attention of those in the community who are able to make some sort of profit from the application of those ideas. Finding relevant concepts from among the vast repository of already published ideas is an important challenge for all researchers. Nowadays, there is ample opportunity to take advantage of the empowering aspects of developments in information technology. In this study, we share some ideas to efficiently and effectively find relevant concepts in a given literature set. Our need was to find and tag predetermined concepts from among the scores of research articles that our literature search had delivered -necessarily this was a large enough task to warrant the development of some automated support to find and tag the relevant concepts. We had prior exposure to Adobe ® Acrobat ® Pro and noted that it provides superior 'search and find' facilities; we decided to trial this use for our purposes in the 'Tribes and Cultures' research project. We have devised and trialled a seven step, semi-automated method to assist in finding relevant concepts from within collections of research articles, retrieved as Portable Document Format (PDF) files, from bibliographic databases and digital libraries.
