Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Evidence and gap maps (EGMs) are a popular synthesis tool. This study explores EGM development processes and reporting, aiming to improve guidance for creating these valuable evidence-based resources.
Area Of Science
- Evidence synthesis methodologies
- Knowledge translation tools
Background
- Evidence and gap maps (EGMs) are increasingly utilized for broad research questions.
- EGMs visually represent the evidence base and identify research gaps.
- EGMs serve as interactive tools for knowledge users.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore the processes involved in developing Evidence and gap maps (EGMs).
- To examine how Evidence and gap maps (EGMs) are reported in scientific literature.
- To identify areas where improved guidance is needed for EGM production.
Main Methods
- Methodological study examining EGM development.
- Analysis of reporting practices for EGMs.
Main Results
- Current practices in EGM development are varied.
- Reporting standards for EGMs require further clarification.
- Specific guidance is needed to enhance the production of EGMs.
Conclusions
- Understanding EGM development processes is crucial.
- Clearer guidance can improve the quality and consistency of EGMs.
- Further methodological research will support the effective use of EGMs.
