Thank you very much!

[@devikajayasekara4698]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@EugenioTrainer]

Great video and an awesome channel; thanks for your information.
Question: If I plan to do a literature review or systematic literature review for a topic that is not in the medical field (AI in education), do you think PRISMA is a good tool, or are there other systems to use?
Thanks

[@carrieprice78]

Thanks! Great question! I am not aware of other reporting frameworks outside of the health sciences. I suppose PRISMA could be adapted for your needs.

[@AREFINEKARIMMIMI]

So informative!

[@carrieprice78]

Thank you!

[@girmaalemu1792]

Thank you for your nice explanations. May I know the main reason behind PROSPERO for not accepting scooping review protocol? Thank you.

[@carrieprice78]

I'm not sure why. I think they want to stick mainly with systematic reviews. Their website notes that they don't accept scoping: www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/.

What is the difference between a scoping review and a narrative review? I keep getting confused
And is narrative review the same as literature review or a systematic review? I think it has another name but i am not sure what it is exactly
Thanks for the help

Hi! Here are some good articles if you can access them:
Akl, E.A., Haddaway, N., Rada, G., & Lotfi, T. (2020). Evidence synthesis 2.0: when systematic, scoping, rapid, living, and overviews of reviews come together? Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, online. doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2020.01.025
Munn, Z., Stern, C., Aromataris, E., Lockwood, C., & Jordan, Z. (2018). What kind of systematic review should I conduct? A proposed typology and guidance for systematic reviewers in the medical and health sciences. BMC Medical Research Methodology, 18(1), 5. doi.org/10.1186/s12874-017-0468-4
Grant, M. J., & Booth, A. (2009). A typology of reviews: an analysis of 14 review types and associated methodologies. Health Information & Libraries Journal, 26(2), 91-108. doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-1842.2009.00848.x

Narrative reviews don't have a specific, rigorous methodology, but scoping and systematic reviews do. There are other types of reviews, like integrative, rapid, realist, and umbrella, all detailed in the publications above.

@@carrieprice78 Thank you very much I appreciate your help

[@maritzasalcido2382]

Hi! how can I know which protocol is better for my topic? PICO, SPIDER PEO or PRISMA

[@carrieprice78]

Hi! PRISMA is only a reporting guideline. The others you've listed are question development frameworks, which you can read more about here: towson.libguides.com/searching-for-evidence/assess#s-lg-box-24803682
