PRISMA Documentation for Circular Manufacturing Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2015-2026

Lateef Akomolafe's workbook provides the complete PRISMA 2020 search and screening documentation for a systematic literature review on circular manufacturing systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. It details the identification of 1,247 raw records from four databases, reduced to 62 final studies, covering publications from January 2015 to 2026. The file is intended as a reusable methodological record to support transparency and reproducibility.

Use Cases

• Auditing systematic review methodologies based on documented screening decisions and exclusion reasons.
• Replicating literature searches on circular economy topics based on the provided database-specific search strings.
• Extending literature reviews on industrial energy efficiency in Sub-Saharan Africa using the identified record set.
• Training researchers on PRISMA flow documentation using the illustrative screening log for 50 records.

Strengths

• Documentation is structured across three sheets covering the full PRISMA flow, search log, and screening log.
• Includes specific numbers: 1,247 raw records identified and 62 final included studies.
• Provides explicit inclusion criteria: studies published between 2015 and 2026, focused on manufacturing with relevance to circular economy, and geographically focused on Sub-Saharan Africa.

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 25.2 KB, indicating a very limited scope focused on methodological documentation rather than primary research data.
