What is the difference between a systematic review and an integrative review?

The main difference between a systematic review and an integrative review is the types of studies that are included in the review.

Systematic reviews include experimental studies, and many times only randomized controlled trials.

Integrative reviews include both experimental and non-experimental studies.
