Please Note: Froedtert Health has implemented a new security protocol which has resulted in the degradation of on-campus access to MCW Libraries' electronic resources. Users on the Froedtert network must sign in via OpenAthens when attempting to access electronic library resources (including UpToDate, VisualDx, etc.). MCW Libraries is aware of this change and is working to provide a permanent access solution. If you have MCW credentials, please sign in via MCW employees and students when prompted. If you are a Froedtert employee, click here to register for an OpenAthens account or view more information.

Scoping Reviews

Learn how the library can support you with your scoping review.

Working with a Librarian

MCW Librarians receive special training in conducting systematic review searches and can apply the same principles to your scoping review search.  We can ensure that the literature search for your scoping review is thorough, comprehensive, and reproducible. If you bring a librarian onto your scoping review team, here are some ways we can work with you: 

  • Discuss your research topic & the scope of the review
  • Determine which databases to search and work together on designing the search strategy
  • Librarians can run the searches and manage the citations
  • Find help in using Rayyan or other review tools
  • Review your methods section and provide numbers for the PRISMA flow chart

For assistance or to talk further with a librarian, request a reference consultation.
