Integrated knowledge translation (iKT) in preclinical research: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Integrated knowledge translation (iKT) is a collaborative research approach that emphasizes the meaningful and active participation of knowledge users throughout the research process. Evidence suggests that integrated knowledge translation has the potential to increase the relevance, applicability, and use of research findings.

To address this gap, we will conduct a scoping review to map the current use, potential benefits, and challenges of iKT in preclinical research.

Methods

Guided by a modified Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework, we will systematically search r
