Thank you so much! So glad that i found it saved on youtube. I’m conducting this scoping review for my master degree and it’s really helpful. Thank you
I would like to know what form are you talking about at 29:21?. Is it an automated tool to download a table form of the finalised studies?. I am a bit lost for this form?.
Here Andrea is talking about data extraction. In scoping reviews, the data extraction process may be referred to as “data charting”. Guidance on creating your own data charting form can be found here, wiki.jbi.global/display/MANUAL/11.2.7+Data+extraction. Additionally, this article by Pollock et al (2021) does describe how to develop a data extraction tool that is relevant to your scoping review: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jan.14743. Good luck!
Hi Dimas, There is no specific minimum number of studied included in a scoping review. However, scoping reviews typically aim to cover a comprehensive range of studies that are relevant to the review questions. The number of studies may vary widely depending on the specific research question and scope of the review.
We have 407 studies included in our scoping review. I understand we can put the results of individual sources of evidence in an appendix (Tricco 2018, Item 20), thankfully. I'm looking for guidance on how to decide which individual studies to include in the manuscript. I know it will depend on our research question, but are you aware of any similarly large scoping reviews that you recommend we look at for examples?
Hi Isabel, Dr Lyndsay Alexander recently completed a scoping review with 555 included sources of evidence. You may find the advice she gives from her experience useful. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/Tz_P5bXHJZA/v-deo.html
Dr Pollock outlines the three steps for searching in a short video at ua-cam.com/video/6TTy-sqlWZM/v-deo.html You may find this useful. Also, guidance is provided in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis at jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/MANUAL
Worthy to watch for my scoping review. I have a query - Should i include abstract articles for my literature review? I have selected 24 articles for final review and 6 of them are Abstract articles.
Hi Tanvir, Scoping reviews do allow for a broad range of evidence. Conference abstracts as a type of grey literature can be included in a scoping review if they are relevant to your review question and meet your inclusion criteria. Sometimes reviewers might limit it to particular study designs. For example, if the review question is about mapping a concept related to clinical trials, they may only need to include clinical trials.
Thank you for this presentation, it was helpful to answer a few that I had. could it be possible to provide the links that were mentioned in the presentation for references in the results section about PRISMA-ScR checklist and related documents? Thank you in advance.
We are glad you found this video useful! First of all, you can find the latest methodological guidance for data extraction for a scoping review at wiki.jbi.global/display/MANUAL/11.2.7+Data+extraction JBI SUMARI is software that you can use to conduct 10 different types of reviews, including scoping reviews. You can see how it facilitates data extraction at ua-cam.com/video/6byOdpA1At8/v-deo.html
There are no formal data extraction tools that we make for scoping reviews. We generally find extraction in scoping reviews is an iterative process, therefore, your extraction tool is subject to change. This article by Pollock et al (2021) does describe how to develop a data extraction tool that is relevant to your scoping review: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jan.14743

Scoping reviews can include both quantitative and qualitative evidence in the form of peer-reviewed articles, guidelines, websites, blogs, etc. Deciding on whether this approach, or a mixed methods systematic review is more appropriate depends on the research question. If your question is about the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness of a particular topic, then a systematic review (such as a mixed methods systematic review) would be more appropriate. If you would like to read more about how to choose between a systematic review or a scoping review, a very helpful article by Assoc Prof Munn is at bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12874-018-0611-x You could also have a look at the short 'Ask JBI' video, 'Should I undertake a scoping review or a systematic review?'

Hi James, JBI Evidence Synthesis publishes scoping reviews and scoping review protocols, however they focus more on healthcare. The journal is at jbievidencesynthesis.com
Thank you very much for this. A very informative video. Just to clarify, we have both the scoping review protocol and the main scoping review which we can both publish?
Glad you found the webinar to be informative. Protocols may be published prior to completing a review, as they pre-define the objectives, methods, and reporting of the review and allow for transparency of the process.

Greetings, super informative talk! Thank you. I have a question: is the PRISMA-ScR methodology only restricted to the Life Sciences where there are people as participants involved? I was just wondering if I can still use the PRISMA-ScR method for AI-themed reviews. So for instance on the theme "deep learning methods for Epidemiology". How might we fill out the participants information, for instance? Some recommended examples would be nice to have if available. Thanks again!
Hi @jenniferdsouza7708, PRISMA-ScR is not only restricted to reviews that have human participants. The checklist didn’t particularly ask for participants information if that’s not part of the eligibility criteria. More detailed information re PRISMA-ScR can be found at www.prisma-statement.org/scoping.
Thanks for the video! I need to assess the risk of bias in my scoping review. Which tool can you recommend if I want to display all my results in one tableau? As the review includes a variety of kind of studies that seems quite difficult... Thanks for your help!
JBI guidance doesn’t recommend conducting critical appraisal for scoping reviews. journals.lww.com/jbisrir/fulltext/2023/03000/recommendations_for_the_extraction,_analysis,_and.7.aspx. As you mentioned, it can be quite challenging due to the diverse range of studies they encompass. Please feel free to contact jbisynthesis@adelaide.edu.au if you have any further queries!
Could you tell me about the research question, I'm confused. Do I create the question, is it the publication authors' question? How is the question created and by whom please?
Hi Pamela, The research question is the question that guides the conduct of the scoping review, not the publication authors’ question. The review question is identified and created by the review team. Please check the JBI Manual of Evidence Synthesis for details at jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/MANUAL/355862667/10.2.2+Developing+the+title+and+question Alternatively you can reach out to jbisynthesis@adelaide.edu.au if you have further questions.
Hi Almas, scoping reviews are not inferior to systematic reviews; they just ask different questions. For example, if a reviewer wants to know if something is clinically effective, appropriate, meaningful or understand the experience of that intervention or concept, and they want those results to make clinical or policy change, then a systematic review is the right approach. On the other hand, if a reviewer is more interested in the identification of certain characteristics/ concepts in papers or studies, and in the mapping, reporting or discussion of these characteristics/ concepts, then a scoping review is the better choice. I hope this helps. There are resources that you may find useful at the JBI Scoping Network at jbi.global/scoping-review-network
