PRISMA 2020 explanation and elaboration. MetaArXiv preprint (September 2020) ABSTRACT The methods and results of systematic reviews should be reported in sufficient detail to allow users to assess the trustworthiness and applicability of the review findings. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was developed to facilitate transparent and complete reporting of systematic reviews and has been updated (to PRISMA 2020) to reflect recent advances in systematic review methodology and terminology. Here, we present the explanation and elaboration paper for PRISMA 2020, where we explain why reporting of each item is recommended, present bullet points that detail the reporting recommendations, and present exemplars from published reviews. We hope that changes to the content and structure of PRISMA 2020 will facilitate uptake of the guideline and lead to more transparent, complete and accurate reporting of systematic reviews. PRISMA 2020 explanation and elaboration. MetaArXiv preprint (September 2020) INTRODUCTION Systematic reviews are essential for health care providers, policy makers and other decision makers, who without them, would be confronted by an overwhelming volume of research on which to base their decisions. To allow decision makers to assess the trustworthiness and applicability of review findings, reports of systematic reviews should be transparent and complete. Furthermore, such reporting should allow others to replicate or update reviews. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement published in 2009 (hereafter referred to as PRISMA 2009) (1, 2) was designed to help authors prepare transparent accounts of their reviews, and its recommendations have been widely endorsed and adopted (3). We have updated the PRISMA 2009 statement (to PRISMA 2020) to ensure currency and relevance and to reflect advances in systematic review methodology and terminology. Scope of this guideline The PRISMA 2020 statement has been designed primarily for systematic reviews of studies that evaluate the effects of health interventions, irrespective of the design of the included studies. However, the checklist items are applicable to reports of systematic reviews evaluating other non- health-related interventions (e.g. social or educational interventions), and many items are applicable to systematic reviews with objectives other than evaluating interventions (e.g. evaluating aetiology, prevalence or prognosis). PRISMA 2020 is intended for use in systematic reviews that include synthesis (e.g. pairwise meta-analysis, or other statistical synthesis methods), or do not include synthesis (e.g. because only one eligible study is identified). The PRISMA 2020 items are relevant for mixed-methods systematic reviews (which include quantitative and qualitative studies), but reporting guidelines addressing the presentation and synthesis of qualitative data should also be consulted (4, 5). PRISMA 2020 can be used for original systematic reviews, updated systematic reviews, or continually updated (“living”) systematic reviews. Extensions to the PRISMA 2009 statement have been developed to guide reporting of network meta-analyses (6), meta-analyses of individual participant data (7), systematic reviews of harms (8), systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy studies (9) and scoping reviews (10); for these types of reviews we recommend authors report their review in accordance with the recommendations in PRISMA 2020 along with the guidance specific to the extension. PRISMA 2020 explanation and elaboration PRISMA 2020 is published as a suite of three papers: a statement paper, consisting of the 27-item

  • Assessing the Utility of an Institutional Publications Officer: a Pilot Assessment
    Assessing the utility of an institutional publications officer: a pilot assessment Kelly D. Cobey1,2,3, James Galipeau1, Larissa Shamseer1,2 and David Moher1,2 1 Centre for Journalology, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada 2 School of Epidemiology, Public Health, and Preventative Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada 3 School of Natural Sciences, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Background. The scholarly publication landscape is changing rapidly. We investigated whether the introduction of an institutional publications officer might help facilitate better knowledge of publication topics and related resources, and effectively support researchers to publish. Methods. In September 2015, a purpose-built survey about researchers' knowledge and perceptions of publication practices was administered at five Ottawa area research institutions. Subsequently, we publicly announced a newly hired publications officer (KDC) who then began conducting outreach at two of the institutions. Specifically, the publications officer gave presentations, held one-to-one consultations, developed electronic newsletter content, and generated and maintained a webpage of resources. In March 2016, we re-surveyed our participants regarding their knowledge and perceptions of publishing. Mean scores to the perception questions, and the percent of correct responses to the knowledge questions, pre and post survey, were computed for each item. The difference between these means or calculated percentages was then examined across the survey measures. Results. 82 participants completed both surveys. Of this group, 29 indicated that they had exposure to the publications officer, while the remaining 53 indicated they did not. Interaction with the publications officer led to improvements in half of the knowledge items (7/14 variables).

However, we have not found documentation of their required knowledge, skills, and characteristics, or the existence of any formal core competencies for this role. Methods: We describe the development of a minimum set of core competencies for scientific editors of biomedical journals. Results: The 14 key core competencies are divided into three major areas, and each competency has a list of associated elements or descriptions of more specific knowledge, skills, and characteristics that contribute to its fulfillment. Conclusions: We believe that these core competencies are a baseline of the knowledge, skills, and characteristics needed to perform competently the duties of a scientific editor at a biomedical journal.

  • Pocket Guide for Operationalizing Evidence Based Practice
    Pocket Guide for Operationalizing Evidence Based Practice Define Formulate problem question Re evaluate Gather best Evidence Based Practice evidence Make Evaluate decision Evidence Integrate evidence with family values and expertise www.teachinngei.org p. 1 Define the Problem When a service provider is attempting to understand a new problem, often their questions are broad making it difficult to gather information to inform decisions. Narrowing the problem to certain element gives the best starting point in a search for evidence. Formulate the Question A well constructed question makes the search for evidence easier and more efficient. A good question should contain the specific group or population, the intervention or issue being addressed/ compared and the desired outcome. Gathering the Best Evidence Many sources of evidence come together to inform decisions made about practice. It is important to have the skills and strategies to make timely and effective decisions. Sources of best evidence include • Information sources: publications, databases, web sites, laws and policies • Service provider experience and expertise • Family values, beliefs, priorities and concerns Information Sources: 1. Publications There are a wide range of publications available with information about practice across disciplines in early childhood. Scholarly publications are the most likely to yield accurate information needed to make decisions. These sources include: o Peer-reviewed journals o Research articles o Guidelines and recommended practices o Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis o Books o Reports o Magazines, non- peer reviewed journals 1a. Peer Reviewed Information Information from peer-reviewed or refereed publications is considered high quality because the process to publish requires the scrutiny of experts in the field as well as scientific methods.

    Developing PRISMA-RR, a reporting guideline for rapid reviews of primary studies (Protocol) Adrienne Stevens1,2, Chantelle Garritty1,2, Mona Hersi1, David Moher1,3,4 1Ottawa Methods Centre, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Canada; 2TRIBE Graduate Program, University of Split School of Medicine, Croatia; 3Centre for Journalology, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Canada; 4School of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Ottawa, Canada; Funding: The development of PRISMA-RR is supported by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR FRN-142310). The funder had no role in the development of this protocol and will not have a role in the data collection, analyses, interpretation of the data, and publication of the findings. Funding will be sought to develop the Explanation and Elaboration manuscript. Developing PRISMA-RR, a reporting guideline for rapid reviews of primary studies February 2018 INTRODUCTION Systematic reviews are known to be the best evidence upon which to make healthcare decisions, but can take years to complete (1). Rapid reviews have emerged as accelerated and/or abbreviated versions of systematic reviews with certain concessions made in the systematic review process to accommodate decision-making situations that require an expedited compilation of the evidence (2). Rapid reviews are usually conducted for a specific requestor and are typically understood to take 6 months or less to complete. Rapid reviews may differ from systematic reviews in a number of ways, such as the number of abbreviated methods or shortcuts employed and the breadth or scope of the question(s) posed (2–4). Some rapid reviews involve accelerated data mining processes and targeted screening of studies.

Its unique search engine based on citation searching was not widely adopted until it was made available online in 1972. Its by product Journal Citation Reports became available in 1975 including its rankings by impact factor. Impact factors were not widely adopted until about a decade ago when they began to be used as surrogates for expected citation frequencies for recently published papers--a highly controversial application of scientometrics in evaluating scientists and institutions. The inventor of the SCI and its companion Social Sciences Citation Index will review its history and discuss their more recent use in graphically visualizing micro-histories of scholarly topics. Using the patented HistCite software for algorithmic historiographic analysis, the genealogy of the Watson-Crick discovery of the double helix structure of DNA and its relationship to the work of Heidelberger, Avery, and others will be discussed. ____________________________________ It is now over fifty years since the idea of the Science Citation Index (SCI) was first promulgated in Science magazine in 1955.i However, as the older generation of scientists will remember Current Contents is the information service that proved to be the primordial revolutionary “idea” which made the practical realization of the SCI possible.
