A Qualitative Approach to Evidence–Based Entrepreneurship: Theoretical Considerations and an Example Involving Business Clusters (2014, methodology): “…numerous different approaches to synthesize qualitative research (Denyer & Tranfield, 2006; Dixon-Woods, Agarwal, Young, Jones, & Sutton, 2004; Finfgeld, 2003), which typically rely on core criteria for evaluating qualitative literature: They have to be systematic and organized, transparent…”
Using Qualitative Research (2004, neutral): “…meta–data analysis, and meta-ethnography is evident in the burgeoning methodological literature on the subject (e.g., Campbell et al., 2003; Finfgeld, 2003; Jensen & Allen, 1996; Noblit & Hare, 1988; Paterson, Thorne, Canam, & Jillings, 2001; Sandelowski & Barroso, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c),…”
What Is the State of theArt of Systematic Reviewin Engineering Education? (2015, background): “Finfgeld (2003) states that a goal of synthetic research methodologies (such as systematic review) “is to produce a new and integrative interpretation of findings that is more substantive than those resulting from individual investigations” (p. 894).”
Evaluating meta-ethnography: systematic analysis and synthesis of qualitative research. (2011, neutral): “Pollock and Grime, 2000160 UK 82 (43), aged 28–83 years, 88% aged > 45 years.”
Use of content analysis to conduct knowledge-building and theory-generating qualitative systematic reviews (2014, background): “Debate exists, although diminishing, about whether qualitative findings that have been generated based on differing epistemological frameworks (e.g. grounded theory vs phenomenology) should be integrated, interpreted, and synthesized within systematic reviews (Finfgeld, 2003; Zimmer, 2006).”
Identifying core categories of client-identified impact of helpful events in psychotherapy: A qualitative meta-analysis (2007, methodology): “The most frequently used term for qualitative meta-analytic strategies, as developed in the field of nursing, is qualitative metasynthesis (cf. Finfgeld, 2003; Jensen & Allen, 1996; Thorne et al., 2004).”
A Meta-Study of Black Male Mental Health and Well-Being (2010, methodology): “Method Study Design A meta-study is a theory-building meta-synthesis (Finfgeld, 2003) and is used to push the level of theory beyond what is possible in a single study, emerging with a “seed” of new truth (Paterson, Thorne, Canam, & Jillings, 2001).”
A narrative approach to studying symbolic boundaries among drug users: A qualitative meta-synthesis (2016, result): “The number of articles included here is consistent with previous qualitative meta-synthesis projects (Finfgeld, 2003).”
Qualitative Metasynthesis: Reflections on Methodological Orientation and Ideological Agenda (2004, background): “This approach to knowledge development represents an attempt to create overarching or synoptic claims on the basis of various analytic and synthetic strategies applied to bodies of extant qualitative research (Finfgeld, 2003).”
A Conceptual Analysis of Perspective Taking in Support of Socioscientific Reasoning (2019, background): “Similarly, a meta-synthesis (Finfgeld, 2003) could provide insight into the manner in which perspective taking is defined in various studies, since meta-synthesis does with qualitative data what meta-analysis does for quantitative data.”
