Comment on "Towards Rigor in Reviews of Multivocal Literatures: Applying the Exploratory Case Study Method."
Elmore, Richard F.
Review of Educational Research, v61 n3 p293-97 Fall 1991
Reviews of multivocal literature are assessments of what can be learned from a given body of literature and assessments of the claims on which that knowledge is based. Methodological rigor is less likely to be a problem in such reviews than is lack of independent judgment. (SLD)
