Green, H. E. (2014). Use of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in qualitative research. Nurse Researcher, 21(6), 34–38.
This article discusses the definition and use of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in qualitative research. It shares the importance of theoretical and conceptual framework, explores the ways these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, while also pointing out the differences between the two. It also discusses how researchers have used theoretical and conceptual frameworks and the notion of conceptual models.

Hills, J., & Gibson, C. (1992). A conceptual framework for thinking about conceptual frameworks: Bridging the theory-practice gap. Journal of Educational Administration, 30(4), 4–24.
This article explains conceptual frameworks are no different from other phenomena on which meanings may be conferred by virtue of the application of concepts and conceptual frameworks.

Hallinger, P. (2013). A conceptual framework for systematic reviews of research in educational leadership and management. Journal of Educational Administration, 51(2), 126–149.
This study focuses on the methodology of conducting systematic reviews of research. The paper draws upon narrative examples from the pragmatic review as a means of clarifying and elaborating on the elements of the conceptual framework. The paper also refers to specific findings from the earlier paper to illustrate broader trends with respect to how the various elements of the framework have been employed in exemplary reviews.

Del Boca, F. K., McRee, B., Vendetti, J., & Damon, D. (2017). The SBIRT program matrix: A conceptual framework for program implementation and evaluation. Addiction, 112, 12–22. https://doi-org.proxy1.ncu.edu/10.1111/add.13656
This article is an excellent example of a conceptual framework. This paper provides the example of "not one shoe fits all" when researchers were looking into SBIRT literature. They looked into many different theoretical orientations. They found there were several such models that were generic and broadly applicable to different types of innovations and organizations. They further discussed that their intention was not to displace these but rather to apply them in constructing a framework specific to SBIRT.

Tanhan, A., & Young, R. W. (2020). Online photovoice to explore and advocate for Muslim biopsychosocial spiritual wellbeing and issues: Ecological systems theory and ally development. Current Psychology, 39(6), 2010–2025.
This article explains the need for researchers to construct or utilize available concept maps, conceptual frameworks, and/or theoretical frameworks for systematic robust mental health research and services.

Bronfenbrenner, U. (1977). Toward an experimental ecology of human development. American Psychologist, 32(7), 513–531.
This article shares a definition of the ecology of human development. This article also shares the belief that the environment implicit in the previous definition is considerably broader and more differentiated than that found in psychology in general and in developmental psychology, in particular.
