The literature review is regarded as an integral part of research scientifically, where systematic reviews are considered as significant evidence synthesis standards. However, various reviews in literature might fail from the standards and later provide either incorrect or biased conclusions. This paper discusses various challenges associated with literature review while providing solutions to mitigate the problems.

Many approaches in literature review have poor or no relevance where the engagement by stakeholders produces reviews that blocks the decision-makers from practical use. This problem can be mitigated by identifying stakeholders contacting and mapping them for inclusion and feedback to minimize extensive budgets (Walden University, 2017). Another challenge is the lack of reliability or transparency in review methods, meaning that they are not replicated, which is a major tenet in scientific approaches. However, this can be solved by being explicit while using standards and guidance of high quality to review conduct while reporting. Methods also face biases in a selection where studies included are miss-representatives of evidence base while lacking comprehensiveness. This means that an inappropriate method of research could result to reviews having wrong evidence concerning questions at hand. However, this could be mitigated by carefully designing search strategies with specialists in info conducting strategies in trial search. This could apply multiple languages, databases, sources of the grey literature while publishing methods of search within a priori protocol in peer-review.

However, to avoid facing the above challenges, one can adopt a process of literature review to ensure it is no biased. First, planning is significant where you focus on the scope, type, and focus of review intended for writing (Haddaway, 2020). Later, read while you research current literature in your area of discussion by selecting sources that you consider as most relevant in the project. Analyze your sources, draft and revise the styles grammatical and structural issues in your project.
