Scoping review as a Method for Synthesizing Scientific Data
https://doi.org/10.36107/spfp.2021.257
Abstract
Scoping review acts as a significant tool for systematizing knowledge in the subject area studied by the authors through the analysis of primary sources from the standpoint of comparison, analysis and generalization of data. Its purpose is to provide an overview of the available scientific evidence within a specific topic. At the same time, the researcher does not set the goal of answering specific research questions. This kind of review analyzes data, regardless of the design and research methodology (for comparison, a systematic review in most cases is based on studies carried out within the framework of a single methodology and meeting specified criteria, and its purpose is to answer a specific research question). Hence, the emphasis is on the range of results identified, and quantitative data are limited to counting sources describing a particular issue based on a particular research methodology. The number of scientific publications of this type is increasing every year, including in the field of food and processing industries. The creation of scoping review is often justified by the complexity and versatility of the problem, the lack of its comprehensive analysis and is the first step towards a systematic review.
