The main structure comprises Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion. Articles must explain their scientific contribution, limitations, and the implications of the findings.

b. Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Articles that address a focused question through a systematic search, selection, quality or risk-of-bias assessment, and synthesis of evidence. Meta-analysis is included when pooling the data is justifiable.

Manuscripts must describe the databases, search strategies and dates, eligibility criteria, selection process, and synthesis methods.

c. Scoping Review

Articles that map the characteristics, extent of evidence, concepts, or knowledge gaps concerning a health topic. Manuscripts must describe the review question, search strategy, source selection, data extraction, and approach to mapping the results.

d. Narrative Review

Articles providing a critical review and synthesis of literature on a relevant health topic. Articles must have a clear objective, explain the approach to literature selection, and offer scientific analysis and perspectives. A summary of the literature without critical synthesis does not qualify for this category.
