Abstract
In this article, we identify the theoretical concept review, a literature review that presents the theoretical concepts extracted from each primary study. We conduct a citation analysis that shows that, in general, theoretical concept reviews have been cited approximately 60% more than other kinds of reviews; moreover, theoretical concept reviews are compatible with every genre and goal of literature review. In our citation analysis, we create some new citation-related measures that can help other researchers in carrying out fruitful citation analyses. Based on our findings, we recommend that literature review authors should routinely present the elements of theory in their reviews since this is demonstrably valuable to readers.
