For researchers, policymakers, and practitioners facing a new field, undertaking
a systematic review can typically present a challenge due to the enormous number
of relevant papers. A scoping review is a method suggested for addressing this
dilemma; however, scoping reviews present their own challenges. This paper
introduces the "scoping meta-review" (SMR) for expanding current methodologies
and is based on our experiences in mapping the field of consumer engagement in
healthcare. During this process, we developed the novel SMR method. An SMR
combines aspects of a scoping review and a meta-review to establish an
evidence-based map of a field. Similar to a scoping review, an SMR offers a
practical and flexible methodology. However, unlike in a traditional scoping
review, only systematic reviews are included. Stages of the SMR include:
undertaking a preliminary nonsystematic review; building a search strategy;
interrogating academic literature databases; classifying and excluding studies
based on titles and abstracts; saving the refined database of references;
revising the search strategy; selecting and reviewing the full text papers; and
thematically analyzing the selected texts and writing the report. The main
benefit of an SMR is to map a new field based on high-level evidence provided by
systematic reviews.
