Summary

This is a duplicate dataset deposit for the Philippine microplastic meta-synthesis, compiling 45 peer-reviewed studies for thematic analysis of microplastic research across environmental and biological matrices in the Philippines. The dataset supports identifying geographic and thematic research gaps in Southeast Asian microplastic science.

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.
