About the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram

The PRISMA flow diagram documents how you moved from all the records your search returned to the final set of studies in your review. Reviewers and journals expect it for any systematic literature review, and it makes your screening reproducible. This maker follows the PRISMA 2020 structure: identification, screening, and included.

Tip: the numbers must reconcile - records screened minus excluded should flow into reports sought, and so on. If the boxes don't add up, reviewers will notice. For the full method - search strings, eligibility criteria, and writing it up - see the SLR & paper-writing workshop.

You have the diagram. Now write the paper around it.

A PRISMA flow chart is one figure. What reviewers actually judge is the search strategy behind it, how you analysed the corpus, and how the findings are argued. The August cohort walks you from title to a submission-ready manuscript — live on weekends, working on your own topic.
