Comment penser sa revue de littérature ? Proposition d'une méthodologie combinée lexicale et visuelle

How thinking ahead systematic review – Proposed Methodology Combining Lexical and Visual Approaches Systematic reviews (SRs) are enjoying a boom in scientific publications. SRs enable readers to quickly grasp scientific advances (Higgins & Cochrane Collaboration 2020, Page & al. 2021). However, to be effective, they must use the "right" keywords. This criterion can pose a problem for non-English-speaking SRs, who must rely on translations. Working on the psychotherapeutic concept "objet flottant" (Caillé & al. 2017), the authors of this article had to think of a particular combined methodology to overcome the lack of English-language translation of this concept. The article presents the thoughts and innovative methodological operationalizations needed to solve this type of problem. The article is composed of two main lines of thought: (1) how to determine keywords when they are concepts with a linguistic translation and (2) how visual inputs (such as author network maps) can contribute to literature reviews (such as systematic reviews or scoping reviews) (Munn & al. 2018, Peters & al. 2015). This article presents a transparent and sequential methodology to enable any researcher faced with the same problem to apply it.
