Summary

This dataset compiles 45 peer-reviewed Philippine microplastic studies for a qualitative meta-synthesis using thematic analysis, covering microplastic occurrence, distribution, and impacts across environmental and biological samples. The synthesis aims to identify key research themes and gaps in the Philippine context. Systematic reviews like this help researchers and policymakers understand the state of knowledge for specific regions, especially in Southeast Asia where plastic pollution and marine resource dependence are both high.

This dataset compiles a systematically curated collection of 45 peer-reviewed studies on microplastics (MPs) in the Philippines, synthesized for a qualitative meta-synthesis using thematic analysis. The dataset serves as the evidentiary basis for identifying descriptive and analytic themes related to the occurrence, distribution, and impacts of MPs across environmental and biological matrices in the Philippine context. Each entry represents a single published study retrieved primarily from credible sources, such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed, selected based on predefined inclusion criteria aligned with qualitative synthesis methodology. The dataset captures bibliographic, geographic, and thematic attributes necessary for transparent and reproducible thematic analysis.
