Welcome to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) website

Here you can access information about the PRISMA reporting guidelines, which are designed to help authors transparently report why their systematic review was done, what methods they used, and what they found.

The main PRISMA reporting guideline (the PRISMA 2020 statement) primarily provides guidance for the reporting of systematic reviews evaluating the effects of interventions. PRISMA 2020 is complemented by various PRISMA extensions, which provide guidance for the reporting of different types or aspects of systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis (e.g. scoping reviews).

Development, updating and implementation of the PRISMA reporting guidelines is overseen by the PRISMA Executive, which is currently co-chaired by Prof Joanne McKenzie and Dr Matthew Page at Monash University.
