Literature review methods (Hamari et al. 2014)

search terms: "gamification," "gamif*," "gameful," “motivational affordance”
search engines: Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCOHost, Web of Science, ACM Digital library, AISel, Google Scholar, Proquest
table 1 shows all search results, not filtering for academic content
after the initial search, the researchers narrowed down the results to:
- peer-reviewed,
- empirical study,
- research methods were explained,
- motivational affordances were clearly identifiable,
- studied gamification, not games
the scientists then checked through the references of the papers to catch any key papers they may have missed. They found 1 additional relevant paper.
ended with 24 peer-reviewed academic study articles
