N2 - Reliable synthesis of the various rapidly expanding bodies of evidence is vital for the process of evidence-informed decision-making in environmental policy, practice and research. With the rise of evidence-base medicine and increasingnumbers of published systematic reviews, criteria for assessing the quality of reporting have been developed.First QUOROM (Lancet 354:1896–1900, 1999) and then PRISMA (Ann Intern Med 151:264, 2009) were developed asreporting guidelines and standards to ensure medical meta-analyses and systematic reviews are reported to a highlevel of detail. PRISMA is now widely used by a range of journals as a pre-submission checklist. However, due to itsdevelopment for systematic reviews in healthcare, PRISMA has limited applicability for reviews in conservation andenvironmental management. We highlight 12 key problems with the application of PRISMA to this field, includingan overemphasis on meta-analysis and no consideration for other synthesis methods. We introduce ROSES (RepOrtingstandards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses), a pro forma and flow diagram designed specifically for systematicreviews and systematic maps in the field of conservation and environmental management. We describe how ROSESsolves the problems with PRISMA. We outline the key benefits of our approach to designing ROSES, in particular thelevel of detail and inclusion of rich guidance statements. We also introduce the extraction of meta-data that describekey aspects of the conduct of the review. Collated together, this summary record can help to facilitate rapid reviewand appraisal of the conduct of a systematic review or map, potentially speeding up the peer-review process. We presentthe results of initial road testing of ROSES with systematic review experts, and propose a plan for future developmentof ROSES.
