Many different standards and guidelines have been developed to help researchers perform scoping reviews. Below are some of the most frequently cited resources.
There are two main types of guidelines:
PRISMA, or the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, is the top reporting guideline for both systematic reviews, and they have numerous extensions that can be used when conducting a scoping review.
It is important to note that PRISMA is a reporting guideline, and so includes items that should be in your final write-up; however, it is not a methodology guideline, and so may not have much detail on how to actually perform each step of the process.
