Identity and its Role in Mentorship Programs: A Scoping Review Search Strategy

To identify studies to include or consider for this scoping review, the review team worked with a librarian (BF) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-ScR extension was followed for search reporting. The librarian (BF) developed the search for PubMed (NLM) and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed (NLM) search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy, and all final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian (AGS) following the PRESS checklist. The databases included in this search are PubMed (NLM), APA PsycInfo (EbscoHost), Cochrane Central (Wiley), ERIC (EbscoHost), and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, OSF Preprints (osf.io/preprints/), and MedEd Portal (www.mededportal.org/). There were no limits to the search.
