*2.3. Study Selection*

All of the records identified during the database search will be retrieved and stored in the Mendeley® V1.19.4 (Mendeley Ltd., Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and duplicates removed. Two reviewers will independently screen the titles and abstracts. A pilot test will be undertaken to verify whether inclusion criteria are met. Potentially eligible studies will be assessed according to whether the full text is available, whether they meet the inclusion criteria, whether the abstract is unclear, and whether the study's relevance is uncertain, while their citation details will be imported into the J.B.I. System for the Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information (JBI SUMARI; J.B.I., Adelaide, Australia) [21]. Secondly, the full text of selected citations will be assessed in detail, against the inclusion criteria, by the two independent reviewers. Full-text studies will be excluded if they do not meet the inclusion criteria. In addition, the reasons for exclusion will be provided in an appendix in the final report of the scoping review. Finally, the references of all the included studies in the review will be hand-searched. Disagreements between the two reviewers will be resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer at each stage of the selection process. In the case of an inaccessible full article, the author will be contacted.

The search results will be detailed in the final scoping review and presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram [19].

#### *2.4. Data Extraction*

Extracted data from included articles will be charted according to the J.B.I.-proposed template by the two independent reviewers [16,18] and aligned with the goals and research questions. A draft extraction tool is presented in Table 2. The draft data extraction tool could be revised as necessary during data extraction from each included paper. Levac, Colquhoun and O'Brien [22] suggested that to ensure consistency of data extraction, a priori pilot charting of the first five to ten studies should be made by two reviewers, independent of each other. The decision of a third reviewer will solve any disagreements in data extraction.

Study authors will be contacted for further data information in the case of missing data. Because review studies will be included, reviewers will choose to report the preliminary study in the case of data duplication.

#### *2.5. Data Analysis and Presentation*

The data collected will be shown in tabular form (Table 3), depending on which is more appropriate to this review's objective. A descriptive summary will be provided regarding the charted result aligned with this scoping review's purpose [16,18] and a qualitative coding might emerge from the data analysis.
