The PRISMA-ScR guidelines are a set of requirements for how you write the final report on your scoping review. Reporting according to PRISMA-ScR is required for a high-quality scoping review, and is required by many publishers. Familiarizing yourself with the requirement early on in the project can help you make sure you keep track of all the required information and make the writing process smoother.
