There are two databases namely Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) and other journal databases used in the screening of past research articles. The seven primary Systematic Literature Review (SLR) topics that were covered are the creation and validation of the review protocol, publication standard, reporting standard, guidelines, formulation of research questions, systematic search strategies, quality assessment, data extraction, data synthesis, and data demonstration. The Scopus database contributed the most articles to this study.
