PRISMA-ScR

PRISMA-ScR is the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews - a 20-item checklist and flow diagram that standardises how scoping reviews are reported. It adapts the PRISMA framework (designed for systematic reviews) to the different aims of scoping reviews: mapping the extent and nature of a body of evidence rather than synthesising effect sizes. Accessibility researchers use PRISMA-ScR to structure transparent, reproducible reviews of fragmented or emerging literatures where a full systematic review would be premature.
