Abstract in brief

Scoping reviews are important for identifying knowledge gaps, setting research priorities, and informing decisions, but how they are conducted and reported varies a lot in the literature.
The review analyzed 494 scoping reviews from 1999 to 2014, mostly conducted in North America and Europe, with many using methodological guidance; however, few followed standardized protocols or reporting guidelines.
The study found no specific guidelines for reporting scoping reviews or assessing their quality, highlighting a need for consistent standards to improve clarity and reliability in this area.]
