Reviews help scholars consolidate evidence and guide their educational practice. However, few papers describe how to effectively publish review papers. We completed a scoping review to develop a set of quality indicators that will assist junior authors to publish reviews and integrative scholarship.
MEDLINE, Embase, ERIC, and Google Scholar were searched for English language articles published between 2012 and January 2016 using the terms review, medical education, how to publish, and emergency medicine. Titles and abstracts were reviewed by two authors and included if they focused on how to publish a review or outlined reporting guidelines of reviews. The articles were reviewed in parallel for calibration, and disagreements were resolved through a consensus.
A full text review of the 25 articles was conducted, and 196 recommendations were extracted from 13 articles. A hand search of the included articles' reference lists and expert recommendation found an additional eight articles. These recommendations were thematically analysed into a list of seven themes and 32 items. Additionally, seven evaluation tools and reporting guidelines were found to guide researchers in optimizing their reviews for publication.
In emergency medicine education, review articles can help synthesize educational research so that educators can engage in evidence-based scholarly teaching. We hope that this work will act as an introduction to those interested in engaging in integrative scholarship by providing them with a guide to key quality markers and important checklists for improving their research.
综述有助于学者整理证据并指导其教育实践。但鲜有文献描述如何有效地发表综述论文。我们进行了一项范围综述，以制定一套质量指标，帮助初级作者发表综述和综合研究。
使用“review（综述）”、“medical education（医学教育）”、“how to publish（如何出版）”和“emergency medicine（急诊医学）”等术语，检索了 2012 年至 2016 年 1 月发表的英文文献，检索数据库包括 MEDLINE、Embase、ERIC 和 Google Scholar。两位作者对标题和摘要进行了审查，如果它们专注于如何发表综述或概述了综述的报告指南，则将其纳入研究。对文章进行了平行审查以进行校准，分歧通过共识解决。
对 25 篇文章进行了全文审查，从 13 篇文章中提取了 196 条建议。对纳入文章的参考文献列表和专家推荐进行了手工搜索，又发现了另外 8 篇文章。这些建议被主题分析为 7 个主题和 32 个项目。此外，还发现了 7 个评估工具和报告指南，以指导研究人员优化其发表的综述。
在急诊医学教育中，综述文章可以帮助综合教育研究，使教育工作者能够进行循证学术教学。我们希望这项工作可以为那些有兴趣从事综合研究的人提供一个指南，为他们提供关键质量指标和重要清单，以提高他们的研究质量。
