Evidence synthesis protocol
A structured, public record connecting planned methods, authors, status and amendments.
From research plan to discoverable public record.
INPLASY turns a planned protocol into a structured research object that can be cited, found and updated.
Submit
Choose the review type and provide the planned methods through a focused form.
Review & identify
The record is checked, published and assigned its INPLASY number and DOI.
Share & update
Cite the public record, report amendments and keep the review status current.
One platform. Multiple research designs.
Select the route that matches your protocol.
Systematic reviews
Register protocols for intervention, diagnostic, prognostic, epidemiological and other evidence syntheses.
Start submissionScoping reviews
Make the planned scope, concepts, context and methods visible before the review advances.
Start submissionMethodological studies
Create a public protocol record for meta-research, meta-epidemiology and research-on-research.
Start submissionMore than registration. A persistent protocol identity.
Keep the protocol connected to the project as the review develops — from initial registration to publication of the final synthesis.
Persistent DOI
Each registered protocol receives a persistent identifier registered through Crossref.
Open global record
Protocols remain freely discoverable and accessible to readers around the world.
Updates over time
Record amendments and keep the review status aligned with the project’s progress.
Connected identity
Use ORCID auto-update to connect the protocol record to the researcher’s profile.
Evidence that stays connected.
More than 2,000 completed evidence syntheses are already linked to protocols registered on INPLASY — making the research journey easier to follow and assess.
