This section provides further guidance on components that should be included in the final report of an Umbrella Review and information that each component should contain. It illustrates how each component of the review is managed in JBI SUMARI. This section also provides a brief outline of the format and stylistic conventions for Umbrella Reviews to ensure the review meets publication criteria for the  JBI Evidence Synthesis . For further information please refer to the  Author Guidelines  of the journal. Specifically, guidance is provided on the following components: outline of the report, inclusion criteria (i.e. PICO), search strategy, critical appraisal, data extraction, data synthesis, results and conclusions. All JBI Umbrella Reviews should be based on a peer reviewed Umbrella Review protocol that has been accepted for publication in the  JBI Evidence Synthesis . Deviations from a published review protocol are rare and must be clearly detailed and justified in the methods section of the report where they occur.
