Summary:The systematic literature review (SLR) increases the grounding of new research through the disciplined incorporation of existing research. As an information systems (IS) discipline, it would seem necessary and productive to structure our practices in such a clear and explicit way through SLR. In doing so, we would emulate the methods used in other respectable disciplines such as medicine and other evidence-based fields. Furthermore, our student disciples to the discipline would be able to follow a codified process in conducting literature reviews. Having a clearly delineated literature review process that is repeatable, unbiased, accountable, and transparent appears beyond critique. It is therefore intriguing to find Boell and Cecez-Kecmanovic arguing against these universal benefits in SLR.
