Description:

This Master Prompt would focus on designing a comprehensive, reproducible, and appropriately broad search strategy for identifying evidence relevant to the scoping review. It would guide researchers in developing concepts, keywords, synonyms, controlled vocabulary, Boolean combinations, database-specific search strings, citation searching, reference-list searching, grey-literature searching, and supplementary evidence-identification methods.

A major emphasis would be placed on balancing search sensitivity, breadth, relevance, and feasibility. Researchers would justify database selection, search dates, temporal restrictions, language restrictions, grey-literature sources, citation chaining, and search updates while documenting the search process sufficiently for transparency and reproducibility. The uploaded studies commonly combine multiple bibliographic databases with grey literature or citation searching.
