Task: Design a Plan for Conducting a Literature Review
(This is not the literature review, only the plan using the 8-step guide below)
1. Identify a research topic in the area of Global Information Systems. (Select from the list below)
• The future of online shopping (Develop the research question)
• Web advertising (Develop the research question)
• Electronic Payment Systems (Develop the research question)
• Barriers to e-government innovation (Develop the research question)
2. Design a Plan for Conducting a Literature Review
3. Use Okoli’s (2015) eight-step guide to conducting a systematic literature review to design a plan for conducting a literature review on your topic.

Requirements: The paper must be three (3) full pages – 900-900 words (not including references & title page), double-spaced, in Times New Roman, and 12-inch font.
The paper should include references from the assigned reading above and 2-3 additional reference sources (peer-reviewed scholarly references) used to prepare the paper.
Please use the APA 7th ed. format for your references and in-text citations.
An Eight-Step Guide to Conducting a Systematic Literature Review
The guide I present here has eight major steps (see Figure 1) that one needs to take to conduct a systematic literature review. Indeed, these steps are very valuable for any kind of literature review; however, for a review to be scientifically rigorous, all of the following steps are essential.
1. Identify the purpose: the first step in any review requires the reviewers to clearly identify the review’s purpose and intended goals, which is necessary for the review to be explicit to its readers.
2. Draft protocol and train the team: for any review that employs more than one reviewer, reviewers need to be completely clear and in agreement about the procedure they will follow, which requires both a written, detailed protocol document and training for all reviewers to ensure consistency in how they execute the review.
3. Apply practical screen: also called screening for inclusion, this step requires that the reviewers be explicit about what studies they considered for review and which ones they eliminated without further examination (a very necessary part of any literature review). For excluded studies, the reviewers must state their practical reasons for not considering them and justify how the resulting review can still be comprehensive given the practical exclusion criteria.
4. Search for literature: the reviewers need to be explicit in describing the details of the literature search and need to explain and justify how they assured the search’s comprehensiveness.
5. Extract data: after reviewers have identified all the studies that should be included in the review, they need to systematically extract the applicable information from each study.
6. Appraise quality: also called screening for exclusion, the reviewers need to explicitly spell out the criteria they use to judge which papers they will exclude for insufficient quality. Researchers need to score all included papers, depending on the research methodologies they employ, for their quality.
7. Synthesize studies: also known as analysis, this step involves combining the facts extracted from the studies by using appropriate techniques, whether quantitative, qualitative, or both.
8. Write the review: in addition to the standard principles to be followed in writing research papers, the process of a systematic literature review needs to be reported in sufficient detail such that other researchers can independently reproduce the review’s results.
