“…As we aimed to map the existing research literature involving use of the TA method within sport and exercise contexts, we decided that a systematic mapping review (Campbell et al, 2023) would be a suitable approach to achieve this. Systematic mapping reviews provide an overview of a research area (e.g., nature and coverage), highlight areas where research has been conducted, and provide avenues for future research (Berg et al, 2016).…”

Use of Simon (1980, 1993) think aloud (TA) method within sport and exercise psychology research has increased in recent years. The purpose of this review was to map current research that has used the TA method with athletes and exercisers by synthesizing published literature that has adopted the TA method to investigate athlete or exerciser cognitions during task performance. Seven electronic databases were searched three times, with a final search conducted in April 2023. Thirty-six studies satisfying the eligibility criteria were included. Several methodological issues were identified including misunderstandings about the nature of the TA method, leading to the use of methods different from and sometimes antithetical to those proposed by Simon (1980, 1993). Other issues identified concerned participant samples, TA training, ecological validity of tasks, and defining the standard of participants. Theoretical misconceptions, methodological considerations, and recommendations for future research using the TA method to generate understanding of participant cognitions during task performance in sport and exercise are discussed. This review documents the extent and nature of the use of the TA method within sport and exercise psychology research and can guide researchers seeking to conduct high-quality research involving the TA method in future.

“…The results were categorized as follows: (0, red) indicating that the study did not fulfil the criteria for the items; (1, yellow) showing that the study partially fulfilled the requirements for the items; and (2, green) indicating that the survey fulfilled all the criteria for the items. These results were then visualized in an Evidence Gap Map (EGM), a systematic and comprehensive method for summarizing existing evidence and highlighting areas where research evidence is lacking or gaps in knowledge exist 22 . Two independent reviewers performed the quality assessment of the included studies.…”

AimTo map the literature on oral ciprofloxacin's pharmacokinetics and its implications for dose adjustments in specific populations.MethodsA scoping review was performed according to the Cochrane Collaboration and JBI and reported following the PRISMA‐ScR. Systematic searches on electronic databases were conducted to integrate the current evidence on ciprofloxacin's pharmacokinetics. The quality of the included studies was assessed using ClinPK's checklist.ResultsThe search yielded 55 relevant studies. Within the traditional pharmacokinetics studies (n=46), 86 profiles were examined (72 involving healthy patients and 14 with various clinical conditions). Oral ciprofloxacin's pharmacokinetics were influenced by covariates such as drug interactions (ferrous ions, calcium carbonate, diclofenac, and itraconazole), food interactions (calcium‐rich foods), elderly populations, and renal impairment. Notably, variability in pharmacokinetic parameters existed among subjects, regardless of their health status, underscoring the need for comprehensive population descriptions. Populational pharmacokinetics studies (n=9) identified significant covariates for hospitalized patients, such as creatinine clearance, plasma bicarbonate, estimated glomerular filtration rate, renal replacement therapy, age, sex, total bilirubin, fat‐free mass, dietary factors in renal disease, rifampicin for Cl models, and body weight for Vd models. Most pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics assessments concluded that 1200 mg/day provides a high Probability of Target Attainment for bacteria with MIC less than 0.5 mg. L‐1, aiming for an AUC0‐24/MIC > 125 h.ConclusionThis study offers a comprehensive overview regarding oral ciprofloxacin's pharmacokinetics across various health conditions. It highlights the complexities of ciprofloxacin's pharmacokinetics, emphasizing the importance of considering multiple factors in dose adjustments.

“…For example, a scoping review seeks “to explore and define conceptual and logistic boundaries around a particular topic with a view to informing a future predetermined systematic review or primary research” (Sutton et al, 2019, p. 211). Campbell et al (2023) distinguish among mapping reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence and gap maps with the shared aim of describing a bigger picture rather than addressing a specific question.…”

Reviews have long been recognized as among the most important forms of scientific communication. The rapid growth of the primary literature has further increased the need for reviews to distill and interpret the literature. This review on Reviews and Reviewing: Approaches to Research Synthesis encompasses the evolution of the review literature, taxonomy of review literature, uses and users of reviews, the process of preparing reviews, assessment of review quality and impact, the impact of information technology on the preparation of reviews, and research opportunities for information science related to reviews and reviewing. In addition to providing a synthesis of prior research, this review seeks to identify gaps in the published research and to suggest possible future research directions.
