There are various guidelines to help guide you in structuring your review. The most widely used is the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). PRISMA has extensions for creating a protocol, conducting scoping reviews, and searching.
In addition to PRISMA, there are several organizations committed to furthering evidence through reviews. The most popular are listed below:
