Systematic Reviews

These articles explain the difference between scoping reviews and systematic reviews.

• Systematic review or scoping review? Guidance for authors when choosing between a systematic or scoping review approach
• What you need to know about scoping reviews

1. Gather your team
2. Develop research questions
3. Scope review of literature for research on your topic
4. Develop a protocol - Plan how you will conduct your research before you begin your systematic search. This plan will guide your research efforts, giving them direction, structure and can reduce errors.
5. Register your review protocol. This will prevent others from accidentally duplicating the same study.

   You can register your work at Cochrane Reviews  or the international database PROSPERO
