Knowledge user consultation is often limited or omitted in the conduct of scoping reviews. Not including knowledge users within the conduct and reporting of scoping reviews could be due to a lack of guidance or understanding about what consultation requires and the subsequent benefits. Knowledge user engagement in evidence synthesis, including consultation approaches, has many associated benefits, including improved relevance of the research and better dissemination and implementation of research findings. Scoping reviews, however, have not been specifically focused on in terms of research into knowledge user consultation and evidence syntheses. In this paper, we will present JBI's guidance for knowledge user engagement in scoping reviews based on the expert opinion of the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group. We offer specific guidance on how this can occur and provide information regarding how to report and evaluate knowledge user engagement within scoping reviews. We believe that scoping review authors should embed knowledge user engagement into all scoping reviews and strive towards a co-creation model.
知识用户咨询在范围综述的实施过程中常常受到限制或被忽略。在范围综述的实施和报告中不包括知识用户，可能是由于缺乏关于咨询所需内容以及后续益处的指导或理解。知识用户参与证据综合，包括咨询方法，有许多相关的益处，包括提高研究的相关性以及更好地传播和实施研究结果。然而，在知识用户咨询和证据综合的研究方面，并未特别关注范围综述。在本文中，我们将根据 JBI 范围综述方法学小组的专家意见，介绍 JBI 关于知识用户参与范围综述的指南。我们提供了关于如何实现这一目标的具体指导，并提供了有关如何在范围综述中报告和评估知识用户参与的信息。我们认为，范围综述作者应将知识用户的参与纳入所有范围综述中，并努力实现共同创作模式。
