• Selection of the appropriate review type for the research question.

• Development of effective search strategies that comprehensively cover the research question.

• Selection of relevant databases and information resources.

• Supplementary research methods such as citation tracking.

• Deduplication, cleansing and export of references.

• Documentation and reporting of the literature search.

• Guidance on writing the methods section according to PRISMA directives or other appropriate standards.
