Applying a Systematic Literature Review Process in a Grounded Theory Investigation
This paper by Sinéad O’Mahony describes how to apply a systematic literature review (SLR) process within grounded theory research. Here’s what it tells us:
Sinéad O’Mahony 的这篇论文描述了如何在扎根理论研究中应用系统文献综述 （SLR） 过程。这是它告诉我们的：
Main Purpose 主要用途
The paper provides practical guidance on conducting literature reviews for grounded theory studies, addressing a gap in available methodological guidance. It demonstrates how to adapt Wolfswinkel, Furtmueller and Wilderom’s (2011) five-stage SLR method for grounded theory research.
本文为扎根理论研究的文献综述提供了实用指导，弥补了现有方法指导的空白。它演示了如何将 Wolfswinkel、Furtmueller 和 Wilderom （2011） 的五阶段单反方法应用于扎根理论研究。
Key Insights 关键见解
The Literature Review Challenge in Grounded Theory
扎根理论中的文献综述挑战
There’s ongoing debate about when and how to conduct literature reviews in grounded theory research
关于何时以及如何在扎根理论研究中进行文献综述的争论仍在继续
Traditional approaches may constrain the inductive nature of grounded theory
传统方法可能会限制扎根理论的归纳性质
The paper proposes a two-step process: pre-literature review (before data collection) and post-literature review (after analysis)
本文提出了一个两步过程：文献前综述（数据收集前）和文献后综述（分析后）
The Five-Stage Method 五阶段方法
Define – Set inclusion/exclusion criteria, identify fields, formulate search terms, select databases
定义 – 设置包含/排除条件、识别字段、制定搜索词、选择数据库
Search – Execute the search strategy (iterative process)
搜索 – 执行搜索策略（迭代过程）
Select – Filter and choose relevant texts through title, abstract, and full-text screening
选择 – 通过标题、摘要和全文筛选筛选和选择相关文本
Analyse – Apply grounded theory coding techniques (open, axial, selective coding)
分析 – 应用扎根理论编码技术（开放编码、轴向编码、选择编码）
Present – Structure and present findings using categories that emerged from analysis
Present – 使用分析中得出的类别来构建和呈现结果

Significance 意义
This work bridges the gap between systematic literature review methodology and grounded theory principles, providing researchers with a concrete framework for conducting rigorous literature reviews that support rather than constrain theory development.
这项工作弥合了系统文献综述方法和扎根理论原则之间的差距，为研究人员提供了一个具体的框架来进行严格的文献综述，支持而不是限制理论发展。
The paper is particularly valuable for doctoral students and researchers who need to conduct literature reviews within grounded theory studies while maintaining methodological rigor and transparency.
该论文对于需要在扎根理论研究中进行文献综述同时保持方法论严谨性和透明度的博士生和研究人员特别有价值。
