revedres-literature-synthesis
Use when executing the systematic search, screening to a PRISMA flow, and extracting data for a Review of Educational Research (RER) review or meta-analysis. Builds the documented evidence corpus; it does not impose the conceptual spine (revedres-organizing-framework) or run robustness/risk-of-bias appraisal (revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

# Systematic Search & Synthesis (revedres-literature-synthesis)
## When to trigger
- The protocol is fixed and it is time to search the literature exhaustively
- Searching feels ad hoc; you cannot yet report a reproducible PRISMA flow
- You have hundreds of records and need a defensible screening trail
- A reviewer at RER is likely to ask "why did you omit study X / database Y?"
## Search to a documented PRISMA flow, not to memory
An RER systematic review's credibility rests on a reader's belief that you found **everything that meets your criteria** — and can prove it. Execute the protocol, logging every number for the **PRISMA flow diagram** (identification → screening → eligibility → included).
1. **Run the registered search.** Search every database in the protocol (ERIC, PsycINFO, Education Source, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations) with the recorded strings, plus grey-literature and hand-searches of key journals. Record hits per source and the search date.
