ABSTRACT

This chapter lays out the difficulty researchers have, in practice, when they need to merge studies showing false feedback into a coherent whole, such as it is required in every literature review, where researchers have to open up a niche for their own studies. The only way to organize studies in a field abound with false feedback is to distort their contents. The chapter shows the tactics researchers apply to circumvent this problem. It concludes that an intense discussion of just thetwo or three most closely related studies of each study would provide a much more valuable contribution to the literature.
