Elaboração e registro do protocolo da revisão de escopo.

Summary

This video provides an informative guide on how to create and register a scope review protocol, focusing on its importance in academic research, especially in health and management fields. It covers different types of literature reviews, such as narrative, integrative, and systematic reviews, and emphasizes the need for rigorous methodology. The protocol serves as a roadmap for the review process, ensuring transparency and reliability. It also outlines the necessary steps for registration on platforms like OSF and ORCID, highlighting the process of submitting and revising the protocol for publication.

Takeaways

• 😀 Scope reviews are a preliminary step in academic research, mapping key concepts in a specific field of study.
• 😀 Scope reviews differ from systematic reviews in methodology, with scope reviews being less rigorous but still structured.
• 😀 The protocol for a scope review outlines the methodology, research questions, inclusion criteria, and planned data extraction methods.
• 😀 Registering the protocol ensures transparency and can potentially lead to publication, enhancing future research visibility.
• 😀 The main phases in creating a scope review protocol include identifying research questions, defining criteria, developing a search strategy, and presenting results.
• 😀 A protocol should be written in the future tense, as it represents a planned research process.
• 😀 Platforms like OSF (Open Science Framework) are recommended for registering protocols due to their user-friendly interface and free access.
• 😀 Orcid, a unique researcher identifier, is necessary for registering on OSF and tracking research outputs.
• 😀 The Prisma flowchart should be included in the protocol to illustrate the process of article selection and exclusion.
• 😀 Once registered, a scope review protocol is essentially a project plan that guides the research process and can be used for later publication of the full review.
• 😀 The final protocol submission should include detailed sections on the title, research objectives, methodology, search strategy, and references.

Q & A

What is a scope review protocol?

A scope review protocol is a detailed plan that outlines how a literature review will be conducted. It includes the research question, eligibility criteria, search strategy, data extraction methods, and how results will be presented. It serves as a guide for the review process and helps ensure transparency and consistency.

How is a scope review different from other types of literature reviews?

A scope review is generally considered a preliminary or broad review, with less methodological rigor compared to a systematic review. A systematic review, on the other hand, follows more stringent protocols and is used to answer specific research questions with high methodological rigor. An integrative review falls between the two, with moderate rigor.

What are the key stages involved in preparing a scope review protocol?

The key stages in preparing a scope review protocol include: 1) Identifying the research question and objective, 2) Defining eligibility criteria for studies, 3) Developing the search strategy to gather evidence, 4) Extracting results, and 5) Presenting the results.

Why is it important to register a scope review protocol?

Registering a scope review protocol ensures transparency, allows the scientific community to be informed about the study, and increases the chances of publication. It also serves as a reference for the methodology, which can be useful for future research and replication.

What platform does the speaker recommend for registering a scope review protocol?

The speaker recommends using the 'usf1' platform for registering a scope review protocol. It is a free and simplified platform that requires the researcher to register an 'orcade' (a unique identification number) before accessing the platform.

What is the Prisma Extension, and why is it important in scope reviews?

The Prisma Extension is a set of standardized guidelines that outline the essential items to include in a scope review protocol. It ensures that the review follows a rigorous and transparent process, contributing to the credibility of the study.

What are the practical steps for registering a scope review protocol on the usf1 platform?

To register a scope review protocol on the usf1 platform, researchers need to: 1) Register for an 'orcade' number, 2) Log into the platform, 3) Create a new project and fill in the title, summary, and methodology, 4) Choose whether to make the protocol public or private, and 5) Submit the protocol for review.

What are the key components that should be included in a scope review protocol?

A scope review protocol should include: 1) Title and summary of the review, 2) The research question and objective, 3) Eligibility criteria for included studies, 4) The search strategy and databases to be used, 5) Data extraction methods, 6) Analysis tools, such as Rayyan, Mendler, or NVivo, and 7) A list of references used in the protocol.

What role does the orcade play in the registration process?

The orcade is a unique identification number assigned to researchers. It is required for logging into the usf1 platform and registering a scope review protocol. This number serves as a researcher’s identification on the platform.

What types of literature should be considered in the search strategy for a scope review?

The search strategy for a scope review should consider not only traditional academic literature (published articles) but also 'gray literature,' such as government websites, professional organizations' sites, and other non-peer-reviewed sources. This helps to ensure a comprehensive review of available evidence.
