Start a review or EGM

Getting started

There are three stages in the production of a Campbell review or a Campbell EGM: (1) title registration, (2) protocol, and (3) review/EGM.

The first step is to complete the title registration form (TRF) online. You will need to submit your TRF through ScholarOne. If you do not have a ScholarOne account, click on the link ‘Create an Account’ beside the User ID field to get started.

You may find it useful to draft your TRF before submitting it. A template document is available to download here:

For more information on submitting a TRF see the Campbell Author guidelines.

The proposed title of your systematic review or EGM should clearly state the scope of the review and should follow the examples below:

Type	Title Format	Example
Evidence and gap map	[Intervention] for [Population/problem] or [location/situation] or [outcome/s]: An evidence and gap map	EGM title example
Systematic review (interventions)	[Intervention/s] for [improving/reducing/increasing/etc.] [outcome/s] in [problem/population] in [location/situation]: A systematic review	Intervention review title example
Systematic review (risk/protective/ predictive/ prognosis factor)	[Type of risk/protective/predictive/prognostic factor/s] associated with [outcome/s] in [problem/population] in [location or situation]: A systematic review	Risk factor review title example
Systematic review (qualitative)	[Experiences/Meaningfulness/ Appropriateness] of [phenomena of interest] in qualitative evidence synthesis	Qualitative review title example
Scoping review	[Review concept] in [population/s] in [context]: A scoping review	Scoping review title example

For other review types please contact the managing editor of the chosen coordinating group.

The editorial process for your review or EGM will be managed by one of Campbell’s Coordinating Groups. The TRF web form in ScholarOne has a drop-down list from which you must select an Editorial Group. Visit the Campbell Coordinating groups page for more information.

Please contact the Managing Editor of a Coordinating Group by email if you have any questions.
