Supplementary materials and supporting data for a systematic review

Description This record contains the supplementary materials and supporting data generated for a systematic review examining the relationships between agritourism, short food supply chains, small-scale food production, and food regulatory frameworks, with particular attention to food safety, hygiene, traceability, labelling, geographical indications, consumer protection, and regulatory flexibility. The bibliographic search was completed on 10 April 2026 and covered Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and PubMed, supplemented by backward citation searching. The review identified 6,472 raw bibliographic records, comprising 6,471 database records and one additional record identified through backward citation searching. After removal of 992 automated duplicates, 5,480 records underwent title and abstract screening. A total of 5,311 records were excluded at this stage, including 42 residual duplicates identified during manual screening. All 169 reports sought for full-text retrieval were obtained, assessed for eligibility, and included in the final synthesis. The record includes: Complete database search strategies and retrieval yields. PRISMA 2020 reporting checklist. Title and abstract exclusion categories and corresponding record counts. Screening procedures, reference-management workflow, inter-rater calibration, data-extraction procedures, and protocol amendments. An illustrative extracted dataset covering 25 included studies. The canonical extraction, classification, and thematic mapping of all 169 included studies. Two reviewers independently assessed a random calibration sample of 100 records before the main title and abstract screening. Cohen’s kappa for the calibration exercise was 0.91. Disagreements were resolved through discussion, and the eligibility criteria were clarified before completion of the remaining screening. The review protocol is archived separately at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18606001.
