Guidance for authors when choosing between a systematic or scoping review approach - example excerpts:"Systematic reviews in healthcare began to appear in publication in the 1970s and 1980s ......Scoping reviews are a relatively new approach to evidence synthesis......conduct scoping reviews instead of systematic reviews where the purpose of the review is to identify knowledge gaps, scope a body of literature, clarify concepts or to investigate research conduct....scoping reviews may also be helpful precursors to systematic reviews and can be used to confirm the relevance of inclusion criteria and potential questions"
