Abstract

Introduction: Umbrella reviews synthesize vast amounts of available evidence from publications in social sciences. However, it is a qualitative methodology for literature review in health sciences, with medicine as its primary paradigm. Thus, the aim was to formulate a comprehensive roadmap for implementing umbrella reviews that provide rigor to academic and research work in social sciences. Methodology: It consisted of two stages: scientific mapping to establish the universe of umbrella reviews in social sciences and configuration of steps for the roadmap, including selection of bibliographic and technological resources. Results: A visualization network was obtained for a sample of 61 published reviews from 2012-2024, along with a methodological roadmap consisting of justification of the umbrella review, review design, protocol registration, review execution, writing for communication, and protocol updating. Discussions: Following an appropriate methodological roadmap for generating new knowledge in social sciences contributes to informed decision-making. Conclusions: Observing the defined steps for the roadmap strengthens social research and validates results for investigations into complex and dynamic social phenomena.
