SUSHIJA framework: A new paradigm for scoping reviews

This paper presents the SUSHIJA (Scoping, Updated, Systematic, Holistic, Interpretive, Joint, and Adaptive) Framework for conducting scoping reviews in an innovative manner. The framework is developed to address limitations of traditional scoping reviews. The SUSHIJA framework has several inclusive features such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven automation of literature reviews and data extraction, critical appraisal of the involved literature, iterative thematic mapping of the included articles, and even a living review component to extract and synthesize new studies in real-time. SUSHIJA framework also considers stakeholder input and incorporates visual tools.
