This interactive tool assists students in designing a protocol for searching, analyzing, and synthesizing literature to build a visual representation of the conceptual framework emerging from critical readings, develop research topics and questions. It frames the process of reviewing literature as a research study and provides scaffolding during the learning and design process. It is part of Hopscotch (Jorrín-Abellán, 2016, 2019), a framework originally developed in 2014 with the aim of helping novice researchers in the development of research designs. There are two versions of the tool: 

The third version "Evidence Synthesis Design" is under development.
