Use when systematically gathering, coding, and synthesizing a management/organization literature for an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — the search-and-coverage methodology and the choice of narrative vs. systematic vs. bibliometric integration. Builds the corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the organizing spine (amann-organizing-framework) or write prose.

# Literature Synthesis Methodology (amann-literature-synthesis)

## When to trigger

- The proposal was invited and it is time to read the field thoroughly and transparently
- Reading feels unsystematic; you fear missing streams a referee could name
- You have many papers but no way to code, compare, or reconcile them
- You must decide whether this review is narrative, systematic, or bibliometric in method

## At Annals you synthesize — you do not run primary research

The folder name says "data analysis," but an Annals review reports **no data of its own**. Your "analysis" is the **systematic appraisal and integration of a literature**. The credibility of the whole review rests on the reader's belief that you read **everything that matters** and coded it consistently. Build coverage as a transparent process, not from memory.

## Choose the integration method first
