The COVID-19 pandemic has a a negative impact on the opportunities for empirical data collection and as a result there has been a move to secondary data sets and systematic review of literature as the basis of Masters level dissertations. This book is invaluable for ensuring the students have the knowledge and understanding to make a reasonable attempt at systematic review within the constraints of Masters submission and assessment criteria.
