Abstract: Systematic reviews (SRs) in the Business and Management (B&M) literature differ from SRs in other disciplines, particularly compared to reviews in the medical/health field where SRs originated. In this analysis, we document some of the commonly cited methodological literature used by B&M researchers. We note some of the differences in the approaches and guidance between the B&M methodological literature and the medical/health methodological literature. Second, we examine how SR methods were reported by B&M researchers. This analysis identifies areas that can benefit from improved reporting and makes recommendations for librarian supporting B&M researchers conducting SRs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
