Author conclusions

The authors conclude that "The latest JBI guidance for scoping reviews provides up-to-date guidance that can be used by authors when conducting a scoping review. Furthermore, it aligns with the PRISMA-ScR, which can be used to report the conduct of a scoping review." This indicates the primary contribution is establishing coherent, current methodological guidance aligned with established reporting standards.

Limitations

The abstract indicates that "A series of ongoing and future methodological projects identified by the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group to further refine the methodology are planned," suggesting the current guidance represents a point-in-time formulation subject to future refinement rather than a final or complete methodological framework.

Open questions raised

The authors identify that "A series of ongoing and future methodological projects identified by the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group to further refine the methodology are planned," indicating recognition of areas requiring further development and refinement in scoping review methodology.
