Having removed irrelevant articles from the review based on title and abstract screening, now n equals the number remaining.
These papers must all be read full text and then a secondary screen is done, whereby articles are removed as irrelevant based on a full text read.
Papers excluded here must include rationale, for example n= 5 wrong population.
Please check with your supervisor, if no access to full-text article can be included as rationale for exclusion.
At post-graduate level please refer to your Subject Librarian or document delivery to gain access to non-full text papers.
