Summary:
Integrative literature reviews are like many other types of reviews in that they can synthesize and provide accessible summaries of studies on a topic of interest. Integrative reviews have the advantage of being able to incorporate any type of evidence, including gray literature, which make them well rounded and less prone to publication bias because they do not discriminate based on hierarchies of evidence. However, although there is an increasing acknowledgment about the value of gray literature, there are some inherent challenges when trying to search for and work with it. The purpose of this case study is to reflect on some of those challenges and the decisions I made to complete an integrative review that incorporated gray literature.
