Abstract

Because of the frantic and overwhelming pace of methodological developments, many researchers in management and related fields find themselves struggling to stay up-to-date on methods-related issues. So how do we keep up with these advances? We often rely on methodological literature reviews, which summarize a methodological issue and provide best-practice recommendations. Simply put, they describe “how to do things right.” Despite their popularity, details about how to write and evaluate methodological literature reviews are not clear. Did you recently read a methodological review and are wondering whether you can trust its best-practice recommendations? Are you a reviewer or journal editor, and would like to offer authors of a submitted review useful and solid developmental feedback? Have you been thinking about possibly writing a literature review of a methodological topic yourself? This Larry James Memorial Lecture will answer these questions by describing how to critically read, evaluate, and successfully write a methodological literature review. The presentation will be based in part on the following article: Aguinis, H., Ramani, R. S., & Alabduljader, N. in press. Best-practice recommendations for producers, evaluators, and users of methodological literature reviews. Organizational Research Methods. https://doi.org/10.1177/1094428120943281
