Stage 3: Select studies	Source
- Define the inclusion and exclusion criteria after understanding of the scope of the literature - Consider using two independent reviewers to apply inclusion and exclusion criteria	[2]
- Consider the search strategy as an iterative process of reviewing the literature, revising the strategy, and eligibility for inclusion - Specify inclusion and exclusion criteria as guided by the research question and purpose - At least two reviewers should independently review abstracts and full text articles for inclusion - Assign a third reviewer to address inquiries or disagreements regarding inclusion	[11]
- Pilot a three-tiered approach to engage team members in the study selection process: 1. divided the team into 6 teams of 2 people, assign each team 1/6th of the articles to review, team members independently review of full text articles 2. team members compared results regarding exclusion or inclusion 3. a third team member resolved any discrepancies	[6]
- At least 2 reviewers for inclusion/exclusion - Follow the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for systematic reviews: 1. Initial search of relevant databases, article title and abstract review 2. Search key terms 3. Search reference lists from all identified articles - Include the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow chart	[13]
- Two groups of reviewers: group 1 for title and abstract search, group 2 for full text inclusion and exclusion - Resolve discrepancies regarding inclusion by a single arbitrator - Consider calculating inter-rater agreement during the study selection process	[15]
