PRISMA Flow Diagram:
The PRISMA Checklist guides authors PRISMA through the development, reporting and publishing of review articles. The checklist states what elements to include in the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and funding sections of a review article. If authors follow the PRISMA checklist, then in their manuscript they can indicate that the review was “conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Statement.”
Standards for the entire systematic review process, from locating, screening, and selecting studies for the review, to synthesizing the findings (including meta-analysis) and assessing the overall quality of the body of evidence, to producing the final review report.

Key Points:
Campbell Collaboration
The Campbell Collaboration is an international network publishing high quality, transparent and policy-relevant evidence syntheses and maps in the social sectors. These are published in Campbell Systematic Reviews, an open-access journal, which is a member of the Centre for Open Science Registered Reports, thus adheres to peer review and publication of the planned methods as a protocol to minimize bias.
Campbell is also a leading actor in evidence synthesis methods, producing guides and discussion papers for researchers interested in the field of methodology and evidence synthesis generally.
Campbell promotes positive social and economic change by enabling evidence-based policy and practice. Our vision is “Better evidence for a better world”.
