Organizing the Evidence to Answer the PICO Question

The Matrix Method is an organizational system that guides you through the literature review process  from start to finish. It is “intended to teach you how to read a paper,  organize the review using the Matrix Method, analyze it, and create a  narrative synthesis”. Now you have searched and found the  literature that answers the PICO question, you can now synthesize what  you have learned and how it fits into your literature review. One  strategy is to create a synthesis matrix. A synthesis matrix helps you  organize the main points of each book, article, or another information  resource you use. It allows you to see how the sources relate to each  other and help guide your writing.

· Do any themes arise from comparing and contrasting are there any similarities or differences.

· Write a paragraph synthesizing the information. Remember, this is in preparation for writing the literature review.

· Peer response:  Identify two (2) students that may share a similar question and comment  about their paragraph synthesis. Ask them to review your and offer  feedback.
