Scoping Reviews

• Protocol registration is a best practice recommended by major guidelines such as the JBI Manual.
• Reduces bias by establishing your criteria a priori
• Much of the information within the protocol will assist with the article formatting and writing
• Promotes transparent research methodology and open science
• Establishes provenance of your research topic
• Reduces duplication of efforts and promotes collaboration

JBI no longer accepts direct protocol submissions. Instead, you must first upload your protocol to the Open Science Framework (OSF) to ensure transparency and accessibility. Once your protocol is publicly available on OSF, you can proceed to complete the JBI Title Registration Form, including the OSF link to your protocol. Once titles become registered with JBI, they are listed on the website, and this will then allow you to publish in one of JBI journals.
