PRISMA 2020

PRISMA 2020 is a reporting guideline for systematic reviews. It supports transparent reporting of why the review was done, what was done and what was found. It does not replace a review protocol or prescribe one universal method.

PRISMA-S and PRESS

PRISMA-S helps report literature searches clearly. PRESS provides guidance for peer review of electronic search strategies.
