While registration may not be required, it is best academic practice. If you have trouble registering your review, I suggest trying to get your protocol published. This can enforce similar academic rigour to registration. I think the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination is also where the Systematic Reviews journal was born, check out the journal and start a dialogue with the editorial staff. I would expect that financial well-being will need a bit of explanation in your protocol linking it to health, but you don't need a direct connection, PROSPERO has systematic reviews of educational interventions in it. The problem here might be that your review doesn't appear to have an outcome, it is a review of methods to define an idea construct; it may not be a systematic review in the traditional Populations, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, Study Design (PICOS) sense that CRD and Cochrane subscribe to. A polite conversation with the PROSPERO administrator should help you figure out what you need to do.

PROPSERO and Cochrane accept systematic reviews so long as the outcome is "health related".   I think you could argue that financial well-being could be a health-related outcome.  Have you discussed this directly with them?   In any case, they may know of appropriate registers even if they refuse.

 Dear Nicky, thanks for your suggestions.

I already ask about other registeries to PROSPERO but they did not answer me about that. I will try with Cochrane too.

You actually do not need to register your systematic review. Most journals do not require registration for publication (unlike clinical trials).

Hi Angela, Just complete the PROSPERO form and submit, they will approve or not your project. If you are following PRISMA checklist, it's better to register your SR.

Dear Angela Sorgente

I think it is important to give greater concern scientific weight to a revision that is planning, where the variables are no economic or monetary clinics but perhaps budget.

In principle, you can not conduct a Systematic Review based on Meta-analysis of Clinical Trials, as input variable to define and "operationalize" is not clinical, but if you can follow certain parts of this method to give more scientific rigor his "Documentary and Operational Research of Economic Variables", suggest the following:

To accept and follow these suggestions probably discover or invent a new method of investigation of economic variables.

 Also follow the methodology of the "Reviews Fast" or modified Delphy method of Andrea C.Tricco et al., Items attached to this methodological suggestion.

Sincerely

Dr. Jose Luis Garcia Vigil

You could try the Joanna Briggs Institute at the University of Adelaide. They also have some review software that is very friendly in relation to  'other types' of review. But you would need to show some relevance to health-related outcomes or interventions.

However, it seems that what you describe is a review that will explore the underlying theory related to financial well-being rather than judge the effectiveness of interventions that might lead to greater or lesser amounts of it; using systematic review methods for social science questions of this sort is a very welcome development.

I am not sure that registration of this type of review is necessary. As long as you can demonstrate that you have followed respected review guidelines of some type then that should be OK for most publishers. I've used CRD guidelines for all the reviews I have led, regardless of whether they were looking for evidence on 'outcomes' or were about developing theory (or, indeed, were registered).

You can submit on PROSPERO. They will accept it for sure. I have myself submitted a range of systematic research, including surveys of meta-analyses.

We've had a fair number of systematic reviews on the OSF Registry. You can start one here: https://osf.io/prereg or see what other systematic reviews are there with this search query: https://osf.io/registries/discover?provider=OSF&q=systematic%20review Registrations on the OSF can be embargoed for up to 4 years.

Is it compulsory to make a registration for PRISMA Literature review?
