How do I find registered systematic review protocols?
Answer
PROSPERO aims to provide a comprehensive listing of systematic reviews registered at inception to help avoid duplication and reduce the opportunity for reporting bias by enabling comparison of the completed review with what was planned in the protocol. It accepts registrations for systematic reviews, rapid reviews, and umbrella reviews. PROSPERO does not accept scoping reviews or literature scans. Accepts protocols relevant to health and social care, welfare, public health, education, crime, justice, and health-related international development.
