The aim of the review is to map the existing evidence regarding the data-sharing practices of health researchers in African countries. This review will also identify perceptions; barriers; facilitators; ethical-, legal-, and author-reported recommendations; as well as institutional- and funding-related aspects that are being considered by African health researchers on data sharing in Africa and, as a result, identify areas for development and improvement in health care on the continent.
The sharing of health-related data has been widely discussed in the literature. However, sharing health-related data has yet to become a common practice among health researchers in Africa, which bears a large burden of health diseases globally. The sharing of health research data could lead to greater development and improvement in health care in Africa.
This review will incorporate studies that report on data sharing among health researchers in Africa. All primary, secondary, and gray literature will be considered for inclusion. Studies on data sharing on topics other than health-related data will be excluded. No language restrictions will be applied.
The JBI scoping review methodological framework will be adopted. An initial search of databases such as MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS, and Web of Science will be conducted. All search results will be screened and relevant data extracted by two independent reviewers. The findings will be presented in the final scoping review report and illustrated in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews flow diagram.
本综述旨在绘制现有关于非洲国家卫生研究人员数据共享实践的证据。本综述还将确定非洲卫生研究人员对在非洲共享数据的看法、障碍、促进因素、伦理、法律和作者报告的建议，以及机构和资金相关方面的考虑，从而确定非洲大陆医疗保健领域的发展和改进领域。
健康相关数据的共享在文献中已广泛讨论。然而，在全球健康疾病负担沉重的非洲，健康研究人员尚未将健康相关数据的共享作为一种常见做法。健康研究数据的共享可以促进非洲医疗保健的更大发展和改进。
本综述将纳入报告非洲卫生研究人员数据共享的研究。所有主要、次要和灰色文献都将被考虑纳入。将排除关于非健康相关数据主题的数据共享研究。不应用语言限制。
将采用 JBI 范围综述方法框架。将对 MEDLINE、Scopus、LILACS 和 Web of Science 等数据库进行初步搜索。将由两名独立评审员筛选所有搜索结果并提取相关数据。研究结果将在最终范围综述报告中呈现，并在系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目中以范围综述流程图说明。
