Kapsam Belirleme Araştırmaları (Scoping Review) İçin Yazım Kılavuzu

Öz

Bu çalışma kapsam belirleme araştırması (Scoping Review) yapmak isteyen araştırmacılara bir kılavuz oluşturmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kapsam belirleme araştırmaları alandaki bilgiyi haritalamak, kavramsal boşlukları tanımlamak ve gelecekteki araştırmalar için yön gösterici bir çerçeve oluşturmak amacıyla kullanılan esnek bir derleme türüdür. Bu çalışmada kapsam belirleme araştırmalarının nasıl planlanacağı, yürütüleceği ve raporlanacağına ilişkin beş temel adım açıklanmıştır. Ayrıca raporlama için kullanılan PRISMA-ScR rehberi çalışmanın eklerinde verilmiştir. Kapsam belirleme araştırmaları, disiplinler arası alanlarda henüz keşfedilmemiş veya karmaşık olan konulara bütüncül bir bakış açısı kazandıran güçlü bir derleme türüdür. Araştırmacılara metodolojik planlama, şeffaf raporlama konularında rehberlik etmektedir. Özellikle genç araştırmacıların ilgi duydukları alanlara hâkim olması ve ilgili alandaki boşlukları tespit etmesi açısından kapsam belirleme araştırmaları yürütmeleri önerilmektedir.

Writing Guide for Scoping Reviews

Öz

This study was conducted to create a guide for researchers wishing to undertake scoping reviews. Scoping reviews are a flexible type of review used to map existing knowledge in a field, identify conceptual gaps, and create a guiding framework for future research. This study explains five fundamental steps on how to plan, conduct, and report scoping reviews. The PRISMA-ScR guide, used for reporting, is provided in the appendices of the study. Scoping reviews are a powerful type of synthesis that provides a systematic perspective on topics that are unexplored or complex, particularly in interdisciplinary fields. It guides researchers in methodological planning and transparent reporting. It is recommended that early-career researchers conduct scoping reviews to gain mastery of their fields of interest and to identify relevant gaps. In addition, an extended and comprehensive summary has been added to the end of the manuscript.
