feedback, and improve the writing skill. Those factors are important for the researchers and

METHODOLOGY 
Research Design 
Research design is needed process to find out the answer of problem that are being 
researched in the research activity. According to Creswell (2012:3), research is a process of 
steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of topic or issue. 
It means that research is such a scientific activity which steps are required to find out the 
answers to the problem in the research activity. To reach the aim of this current research, 
systematic review will be appropriated.
A systematic review is a mean of identifying, evaluating, and interpreting all 
available research relevant to a particular research question, or topic area, or phenomenon 
of interest. A systematic review has been defined as.’...the application of strategies that limit 
bias in the assembly, critical appraisal and synthesis of all relevant studies on a given topic’, 
(Chalmers et al., 2002, cited in Torgerson C, 2003:1).
In this research, the researcher used meta-synthesis method. The researcher used this 
design because the researcher wanted to know a systematic review of Google in writing skill. 
It means, the researcher wanted to know the contribution of Google Docs in writing skill, in 
order to understand them clearly.
Search Method for Collecting Data 
In doing systematic review, the researcher used to find the studies. Therefore, the 
researcher needs appropriate search strategy that will be searched the sources in detail. In 
order to find suitable sources, the researcher utilized internet and hand searching.
1. Internet Searching 
Internet searching is Generic search engines, such as Google and Bing, can be 
useful sources for research, can check searching already undertaken, and can also 
identify organisation that may contain relevant research (Gough et al, 2012:125).
The 
search process was challenging and iterative, since the researcher must be found the 
sources that fulfill the criteria. In searching the sources, the researcher used Google 
Scholar and Researchgate to find out the sources. The sources published by Turkish
