Nursing & Health Innovations: Systematic Review

Typical attributes of a Systematic Review:

• Contains a clearly stated set of objectives with pre-defined eligibility criteria for studies
• Lists the databases that authors searched and the search terms they used
• Authors assess the validity of the findings of the included studies, for example through the assessment of risk of bias
• Systematically presents and synthesizes the characteristics and findings of the included studies -- frequently includes an evidence table

In a literature review, the authors aim to review the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic, but do not necessarily follow a systematic process. 

You might also see "integrative review," which is a review that includes and synthesizes both experimental and nonexperimental research, such as qualitative studies.
