Quality assessment reporting checklists for microsimulation models: A scoping review protocol

There are no formal checklists to assess the quality of microsimulation models. Moreover, no scoping reviews have been undertaken on this topic. This work will synthesise any existing recommendations regarding the development of robust microsimulation models. A validated quality assessment reporting checklist will be the first of its kind and thus, fill an important gap in the literature.

Abstract

There are no formal checklists to assess the quality of microsimulation models. Moreover, no scoping reviews have been undertaken on this topic. This work will synthesise any existing recommendations regarding the development of robust microsimulation models. A validated quality assessment reporting checklist will be the first of its kind and thus, fill an important gap in the literature.
