On Friday, 6 November 2026, the Master of Science and Doctoral Program (MD) of FEB UGM and the Association of Doctoral Students in Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada (IMADEBGAMA), held a Book Discussion on “Metoda Penelitian Structured Literature Review: Konsep dan Implementasinya”. Two of the book’s authors spoke at the event: Prof. Irwan Taufiq Ritonga, S.E., M.Bus., Ph.D., CA., Professor at FEB UGM, and Dr. Nia Pramita Sari, M.A. Tomy Rizky Izzalqurny, S.E., M.S.A., a doctoral student in Accounting at UGM, moderated the discussion. The event was held in person from 09:00 to 11:30 WIB at the BRI Auditorium, 3rd Floor, Master of Science and Doctoral Program Building, FEB UGM.
The book was written by a team of authors: Prof. Irwan Taufiq Ritonga, S.E., M.Bus., Ph.D., CA; Dr. Nia Pramita Sari, M.A.; Ahmad Dwi Arianto, M.T.; Ehrmann Suhartono, M.Si., Akt., CA; Parwoto, M.Sc.; S. Ibrahim Hasan Al-Habsyi, M.Acc.; and Sarinah Joyce M. Rafael, M.Acc., Ak., CA. In their presentations, the speakers explained the basic concept of Structured Literature Review (SLR), a systematic, transparent, and replicable approach to reviewing scholarly literature. The authors also outlined how to carry out an SLR, from formulating research questions, setting article selection criteria, and searching for and screening sources to analyzing and synthesizing the findings. The speakers said that SLR can help researchers map how a field of study has developed, find research gaps, and plan future research with a clearer focus.
The discussion session was interactive. Participants asked about using SLR in theses and dissertations, choosing databases and analysis tools, and keeping a review rigorous and of high quality. The event aimed to give participants a deeper understanding of SLR and practical skills for using it in their own research. It closed with a group photo to thank the speakers and authors for a book that supports the development of academic research.
