    • The results of this scoping review can be used to inform a research agenda to advance these methods in the knowledge synthesis field
    • Twelve knowledge synthesis methods were classified as methods that can be used for the entire synthesis process; while 13 were classified as methods that provide guidance on the analysis alone
    • Identified a lack of guidance in emerging knowledge synthesis methods integrating qualitative and quantitative evidence
