Following the scoping in phase 1, phase 2 search terms will be refined to reflect the theory under investigation. For example, an emerging theory about organisational processes in change management would generate search terms of |
‘change agent’ ‘change management’ ‘knowledge translation’ ‘opinion leader’ ‘knowledge transfer’ |
In PubMed, these would be operationalised using Boolean terms: |
hospital AND (change agent OR change management OR knowledge translation OR opinion leader OR knowledge transfer) |
