Abstract

This review focuses on the unique challenges of integrating multiple data sources and formats in reviewing climate change adaptation policy and practices, while highlighting innovative applications of systematic approaches. It presents guidelines, key considerations, and recommendations for systematic review in the social sciences in general, and climate change adaptation research in particular. Broadly defined, a systematic review is a focused review of literature that seeks to answer a specific research question using pre-defined eligibility criteria for documents, and explicitly outlined and reproducible methods. The review concludes by calling for increased conceptual and methodological development of systematic review approaches.
