Dear Danielle, Just to clarify, as you asking about the 'first ever' mention / article on realist synthesis/review? As far as I am aware the first ever 'mention' of realist synthesis is: Evidence-based Policy: The Promise of `Realist Synthesis' http://evi.sagepub.com/content/8/3/340.abstract Others, do plese feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Or if you were asking a different question.
