Whenever undertaking an evidence synthesis review, it is important to start the process by creating a protocol to set your research team up for success. This workshop explains in detail the elements of systematic and scoping review protocols, including existing protocol templates and where to publish finalized protocols. Attendees of this workshop will learn why protocols are a necessity to the review process and also gain experience creating an example protocol. This workshop will be offered online via Zoom.
