Ilesonuçlarla

Ilesonuçlarla is a coined term in Turkish-language academic discourse that denotes a methodological approach for integrating multiple study results into a single, interpretable assessment. The term combines ile, meaning with, and sonuçlar, results, with the plural suffix -larla, signaling the aggregation of outputs across sources. The form ilesonuçlarla is used as a label for a framework rather than a specific instrument.

The concept emerged in discussions on evidence synthesis in the late 2010s, where scholars sought alternatives to traditional meta-analysis to accommodate heterogeneous study designs and qualitative findings. It has since been discussed in methodological articles and debates about how to present composite evidence in policy and practice.

Practitioners employing ilesonuçlarla typically begin by defining the scope and selecting sources, then extract outcomes and categorize them as quantitative, qualitative, or mixed. Each result is assigned a quality weight reflecting study design, risk of bias, and relevance. An aggregation rule combines weighted results into an overall score or narrative summary, with uncertainty expressed through confidence-like intervals or qualitative ratings. The final output emphasizes transparency about inclusion criteria, weighting, and the interpretive boundaries of the synthesis.

Usage spans health services research, education, environmental policy, and social sciences where diverse evidence must be presented succinctly to inform decisions. Critics argue that the method introduces subjectivity in weights and may obscure heterogeneity. Proponents counter that it provides a practical way to communicate complex evidence to practitioners and policymakers.
