Common SLR limitations include potential publication bias, restricted search scope (e.g., language, date), heterogeneity of included studies, and subjective judgment during screening or synthesis. To strengthen credibility, proactively acknowledge these in your discussion. Justify your methodological choices, detail steps taken to mitigate issues (e.g., grey literature searches, sensitivity analyses), and explicitly state how these limitations may influence the conclusions. This transparency allows readers to assess the review's validity and generalizability. Â
