The research context
The review combined a systematic literature review with a bibliometric approach across 30 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2018 and 2024. To map how the journals connected on the theme of communication in coaching, the author turned to Evidano.
The five themes Evidano surfaced
Mismatched expectations between coach and coachee
Coach and coachee relationship dynamics
Organizational influence
Coach and coachee fit
Organizational culture
Why this matters for credibility
A clear example of Evidano as a research assistant, with the researcher keeping interpretation and judgment.
How Evidano fit the workflow
From raw journals to reviewable themes, with the researcher in the loop.
- 1Input the corpus
Around 20 journals were loaded into Evidano.
- 2Set the analytic context
The author focused the analysis on communication aspects of coaching.
- 3Surface the themes
Five themes emerged, each described and tabulated in the paper.
- 4Researcher review
The author also reviewed 15 journals by hand to minimize bias and build a more comprehensive review.
“AILYZE can create simple analyses of the analyzed literature and help the researcher understand the findings.”
Evidano is named in both the methodology and the results.
Manual review of 15 journals ran alongside the AI-assisted step.
The author combined tools and methods to reduce bias.
