The authors give a comprehensive description and present a holistic juxtaposition comparison of the five most common types of scientific literature review in pedagogical science: narrative, systematic, semi-systematic, integrative, and meta-analysis based. Having analyzed the Ukrainian and foreign scientists’ works on the problem under investigation, the authors found out the peculiarities of the new methodology of searching and analyzing the results of existing pedagogical research. The purpose of the study was to develop methodological recommendations for the implementation of various strategies and approaches to the scientific literature review as an effective and fruitful research method in the study of educational problems. Researchers have proven that under the influence of digitalization processes, not only the paradigm of scientific research is gradually changing, but also significant changes are being made in the methodology of carrying out a scientific literature review. These positive changes have made the process much faster, more convenient and more accurate. Modern search tools allow a researcher to focus on analyzing the content of information, significantly reducing the technical burden associated with searching and organizing data.
