How many databases should I search for a systematic review?
Systematic and scoping reviews both aim to retrieve a comprehensive set of literature on their topic, so searching one source is not adequate.
Bramer et al. (2017) state that searches for systematic reviews should searchat least Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar as a minimum requirement to guarantee adequate and efficient coverage.
