PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) is a checklist to help authors report reviews in a replicable and transparent way. There are extensions for different sections of a review, such as the search and abstract, for protocols, and for different review types, such as scoping reviews.
The PRISMA 2020 Statement, and the Extension and Elaboration gives further details about what should be reported on for each item.
The PRISMA flow diagram is used to report on the process of how many records were found, how many were excluded, and how many are included in the review.
For more information, the following PDF is the draft of an Open Education Resource currently under revision. The videos and activities are unavailable until the OER is published online.
