A complex situation encountered regarding scoping and systematic review studies. i got a reviewer who urgue that one cannot use systematic review and scoping review papers in a systematic and scoping review study because they are not primary data. I am seeking advice from experts in systematic and scoping review, experienced researchers on whether it is allowed, possible and permitted to use systematic and scoping review papers in a systematic and scoping review study, and in which situation such papers can be used?
Systematic and scoping reviews are generally considered secondary research or evidence synthesis studies rather than primary research that generates original data. Because of this, they are typically not included as sources of primary data in systematic or scoping reviews that seek to synthesise empirical evidence directly.
