Colandr for Systematic Reviews

Planning

The planning stage is commonly known as protocol development. The protocol describes the intended goals, rationale for such, and methods to complete the review. Visit PRISMA for more information. Planning is one of the most important steps and as such, Colandr provides a robust planning platform to be shared among review collaborators.

Objective The objective should be guided by the overall research question and the type of review planned. For example, a scoping review of culturally adapted interventions for a certain population might have an objective to summarize and synthesize available evidence.
