❓Can I cite PRISMA-ScR as a methodology for my scoping review?

💬The answer is no. There is clear methodological guidance to help people plan and conduct scoping reviews, including the , and the earlier methodologies by Arksey & O’Malley (2005) and Levac and colleagues (2010).

The PRISMA extension for scoping reviews is the guidance for reporting a scoping review, not how to conduct the review. There have been scoping reviews published where the methodology has been cited by authors as the PRISMA-ScR, but this is an error. 🚫
