Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology at Aalborg University
Welcome to Conducting scoping reviews
Program: Health Care, Health Promotion and Organizations
Description:
The objective of this three-day course is to provide the participants an understanding of why and how to develop a scoping review protocol and conduct a scoping review using the JBI methodology.
Scoping reviews provide an overview of the existing literature within a defined topic of interest. A scoping review can be used to map the key concepts that underpin a field of research, as well as to clarify working definitions, and/or the conceptual boundaries of a topic. The most common reasons for conducting a scoping review are to explore the breadth or extent of the literature, map and summarize the evidence, and inform future research.
The course covers the following areas relevant to developing a scoping review protocol and conducting a scoping review:
- JBI guidelines and template to developing a scoping review protocol and scoping review
- Differences and similarities between systematic reviews and scoping reviews
- Focused question P (Population) C (Concept) C (Context)
- Search strategy
- Source of evidence selection
- Data extraction
- Analysis and presentation of results
The course includes presentations from lectures, group activities, either individually focusing on your own PhD-project or in small groups with a shared focus and short presentations from the PhD students.
