How to write Scoping review?

I intend to summarize the guidelines provided by the Joana Briggs Institute for conducting a scoping review.

Step 1 – Define the topic that you will be reviewing; its objectives and any potential sub-questions.

Step 2 – Develop a review protocol. The protocols functions as the plan behind your review. Here you’ll state eligibility criteria (for inclusion/exclusion), how you screened the literature and the charting process that you utilized.

Step 3 – Apply PCC framework

Step 4 – Perform systematic literature searches

Step 5 – Screen the obtained results and only include studies that meet your eligibility criteria

Step 6 – Extract and chart the data you extracted from the collected studies

Step 7 – Write a summary of the evidence to answer your research question(s).
