Scientific literature review

Evidence

• Why this level

  Summary

  Literature review is documented for the Kalenji project (Decathlon 2016–2017) with the analysis of approximately 40 articles and 5 reference studies (Kerr 1983, Hasegawa 2007, Larson 2011, Kasmer 2013, Bertelsen 2013), and for the Chaire3 project (ISM) where clustering methods from the literature were compared before selection. The ability to synthesize conflicting results and link them to measurable variables is observable in the LaTeX presentations and reports produced.

• Current ceiling

  Summary

  Reaching L4 would require publications in a peer-reviewed journal, an identifiable contribution to a meta-analysis, or a formal reviewer role.

• ~40 articles reviewed — Kalenji 2016–2017
