This session will provide an introduction to scoping reviews, a research synthesis method used to map the breadth and depth of available evidence on a particular topic. Participants will learn about the key characteristics of scoping reviews, including their purpose and how they differ from other systematic reviews. The session will cover critical considerations for academics and students new to this approach, such as defining a clear research question and managing the scope to balance comprehensiveness and feasibility. Practical tips on comprehensive searching and tools for the conduct of reviews will be introduced. By the end of the session, participants will have a foundational understanding of the requirements and time commitment to enable making an informed decision about embarking on a scoping review.
