Unrivalled in scope and comprehensiveness, Wolves will become the definitive resource on these extraordinary animals for scientists and amateurs alike.
In Canada, similar surveys exist but are limited in scope and comprehensiveness [ 17- 19].
Meanwhile, epidemiologic data regarding the burden of viral hepatitis and related complications are limited in scope and comprehensiveness [ 17], limiting the planning of prevention interventions and monitoring their effectiveness to control these infections.
Selection of a benchmark review was based on predetermined criteria, namely: rigour of reviewing methodology (quality associated with methods and analysis undertaken), comprehensiveness (scope and breadth of topic) and year of publication (most recent review usually included the highest number of relevant studies).
Unlike systematic reviews, scoping studies/reviews aim for breadth and comprehensiveness, rather than depth.
There have been different reviews on the topic, but their quality and comprehensiveness of their scope has not been studied yet.
However, Levac and colleagues also point out the cost-to-benefit ratio consideration: "Balancing breadth and comprehensiveness of the scoping study with feasibility of resources can be challenging" [ 28].
Furthermore, because scoping studies require a balance between feasibility, significance, and the breadth and comprehensiveness of information that is scoped [ 20], they are challenging to conduct.
Their importance springs from the quality, size, and range of their collections, which are comprehensive in scope, and from their attempts to maintain their comprehensiveness.
This ensured a balanced scope of knowledge questions as well as ensured appropriateness and comprehensiveness of the questions in the local context.
Given its comprehensiveness, clarity, interdisciplinary scope, and authencity, this book appeals to a wide range of users, from students and teachers of medical sociology, the demography of aging, and public health studies to practitioners in these areas, both as a text in health demography and the demography/epidemiology of aging, and as a reference work in these fields.
