KEY TIP

Publishing literature reviews in academic literature can be a challenge. Not all journals accept review papers as they view it as secondary research, or have restrictive limits on word-count which can prevent the publication of lengthy reference lists. Where review papers are accepted, it is almost always a requirement that the review has been undertaken in accordance with a recognised protocol, such as PRISMA, which is why following a protocol is important if you intend to publish. The PRISMA process is the most widely accepted and established protocol. Following the PRISMA guidelines and presenting the specific information required indicates to peer reviewers that the research was conducted with methodological transparency and rigour. For more information about how to publish your evidence synthesis, refer to this section of the course.
