Enhancing quality of scoping reviews in paramedicine research : guidance for authors

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Scoping reviews are an increasingly common method for conducting evidence synthesis in paramedicine. Over the past decade clear methodological guidance has emerged, adding rigour and credibility to this review approach. Paramedicine receives many scoping review submissions, and views these as valid evidence synthesis capable of helping the journal achieve its strategic vision and mission. However the Editorial Board has noted that submissions frequently fail to adhere to essential elements of scoping methodology and reporting standards. This editorial aims to provide guidance to authors regarding Paramedicine’s expectations and requirements for scoping review submissions, with the hope of contributing to a greater understanding of scoping review science and enhancement of quality.
