Here we provide links to or pdf files of review protocols. If you would like to add your review protocol to this website so that later you can indicate that the review protocol was created prior to the conduct of the review, please contact us (links to the contact us page.) Your protocol submission should include your preferred complete citation including the link to the review of your institutional repository and the DOI. If you do not have an institutional repository, contact us for options for submitting a protocol. The review should be written using all headings listed in PRISMA-P. When a particular heading is not relevant – include it but leave it blank. We do not provide peer-review but provide a timestamped PDF that you can later refer to.
