Et scoping review er en type litteraturgennemgang, der har til formål at kortlægge omfanget, karakteren og bredden af eksisterende forskning inden for et bestemt emneområde. Den bruges ofte til at identificere forskningshuller, afklare begreber eller definere omfanget af et forskningsfelt, uden at lave en detaljeret kvalitetsvurdering af de inkluderede studier. Scoping reviews er særligt nyttige i områder, hvor forskningen er fragmenteret eller tværfaglig.

Systematic searching, but not necessarily comprehensive. |
No formal quality assessment required. |
Narrative summary with evidence maps / charts. |
Useful during the discovery and early stage of a project, and to see if a SR is needed. |

Systematic Review |
To comprehesively search for research evidence on a focussed topic, and systematically identify, appraise and synthesise all relevant evidence. |
Exhaustive, comprehensive searching. |
Formal quality assessment conducted in duplicate, using validated tool. |
