Abstract: (29 Views)
Scoping reviews are aimed to reveal the scope, dimensions, and issues raised, also to explain the concepts and literature used in a research topic. Moreover, these studies are applied in summarizing and drawing a map of the produced evidence, identifying and analyzing the existing knowledge gap, and directing deeper and more targeted studies. The rigor and quality of a scoping review relies on the search strategy, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the selection of evidence, as well as the extraction, summarization and display of findings, and especially the conclusion and any practical implication of the study be all aligned with the objectives and main questions of the study. Any lack of knowledge or respect to the above-mentioned subjects may lead to challenging issues. It is recommended that researchers, reviewers and editors of scientific journals consider the special characteristics of scoping review studies and be especially sensitive about any recommendations or implications derived from these studies for policy making and practice.
