Abstract
Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are of particular interest among management scholars. There are different approaches to explore which SLR is a high-quality one. The main attribute that differentiates a systematic review from an unsystematic one is a methods section that sufficiently communicates the research question, the search strategy, and the designs of the works that were selected. It is not easy to choose an approach and search strategy to succeed in publishing in journals accepting only high-quality research. Successful or high-quality search strategy is one that assures replicability and transparency of SLR. Despite numerous publications of guiding nature on how conduct a literature review, a gap on search strategy utilized by scholars in management research is still observed. The main purpose of the paper is to explore successful search strategies for SLRs in management sciences. We have utilized a systematic review exploring all SLRs in terms of their replicability and transparency available in the International Journal of Management Reviews. The obtained results have revealed several thought-provoking methodological patterns in search strategies related to replicability and transparency of the analyzed SLRs.
