Feedback:
Reviewers must decide whether their review will cover published and unpublished findings. There is some disagreement about whether reviewers should limit their sample to published studies, or should cast as wide a net as possible and include grey literature—that is, studies with a more limited distribution, such as dissertations, unpublished reports, and so on. Some people restrict their sample to reports in peer-reviewed journals, arguing that the peer review system is an important, tried-and-true screen for findings worthy of consideration as evidence.
