Lean and Lean Six Sigma in Human Resources: Scoping Review Screening Process

A 2026 dataset by Eva Selene Hernández Gress documents the full screening and selection process for a scoping review on applying Lean and Lean Six Sigma to Human Resources. It contains three Excel sheets tracking records from initial database searches in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar through to final study inclusion. The 1.0 MB file supports transparency and reproducibility of the review methodology.

Use Cases

• Replicating the study selection process for the scoping review based on the documented screening stages.
• Analyzing trends in Lean/Lean Six Sigma HR applications based on the methodological approach and scope categorization mentioned in the description.
• Examining the effectiveness of supplementary search methods like snowballing based on the labeled records in the dataset.
• Comparing included case studies against excluded conceptual contributions based on the final selection criteria.

Strengths

• Documents the full selection process across three distinct stages (complete database, title/abstract screening, final eligibility).
• Sources data from multiple academic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) and supplementary snowballing methods.
• Explicitly labels records retrieved via snowballing, enhancing methodological transparency.
• Distinguishes between applied case studies and conceptual contributions in the final selection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
