Eligibility Criteria for Scoping Review on Culture and Volunteerism in Older Adults

Patrick Ho Lam Lai authored a scoping review protocol registered on the Open Science Framework. The protocol outlines methods to systematically review how cultural factors are conceptualized in studies of formal and informal volunteerism among U.S. adults aged 50 and older. The dataset is 5.5 KB in size and was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Define search strategies for literature reviews based on the described JBI and PRISMA-ScR framework.
• Map conceptual themes of cultural factors in volunteerism research based on the planned descriptive and thematic analysis.
• Identify gaps in the operationalization of cultural variables for studies on older adult volunteerism.

Strengths

• Follows a registered and structured protocol (OSF registration DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/4SZVU).
• Explicitly focuses on a defined population (adults aged 50+ in the United States).
• Uses a clear methodological framework (JBI Scoping Review Framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope, likely containing only review criteria or protocol details.
