Abstract：
The realist review/synthesis has become an increasingly prominent methodological approach to evidence synthesis that can inform policy and practice. While there are publication standards and guidelines for the conduct of realist reviews, published reviews often provide minimal detail regarding how they have conducted some methodological steps. This includes selecting and appraising evidence sources, which are often considered for their \'relevance, richness and rigour.\' In contrast to other review approaches, for example, narrative reviews and meta-analyses, the inclusion criteria and appraisal of evidence within realist reviews depend less on the study\'s methodological quality and more on its contribution to our understanding of generative causation, uncovered through the process of retroductive theorising. This research brief aims to discuss the current challenges and practices for appraising documents\' relevance, richness and rigour and to provide pragmatic suggestions for how realist reviewers can put this into practice.

现实主义审查/综合已成为证据综合的一种越来越突出的方法论方法，可以为政策和实践提供信息。虽然有进行现实主义审查的出版标准和准则，发表的评论通常提供关于他们如何进行一些方法步骤的最少细节。这包括选择和评估证据来源，这些通常被认为是它们的相关性，丰富,严谨.与其他审查方法相比，例如,叙事评论和荟萃分析，纳入标准和评估的证据在现实主义者的审查较少依赖于研究的方法论的质量，更多的是它的贡献，我们的理解生成因果关系，通过逆向理论化的过程发现。本研究简介旨在讨论评估文件相关性的当前挑战和实践，丰富,严谨，并为现实主义者的审稿人如何将其付诸实践提供务实的建议。本文受版权保护。保留所有权利。
