I checked with the lead author that this is the final submitted version (which it is) – BUT importantly – the journal Editor then asked for the title to be changed from: Dissemination Bias in Qualitative Research: conceptual considerations To Further exploration of dissemination bias in qualitative research required to facilitate assessment within qualitative evidence synthesis. The team did not submit another version of the preprint and the title was changed by the publisher at the proof stage. Hope this helps explain the title anomaly.

N2 - OBJECTIVES: To conceptualise and discuss dissemination bias in qualitative research.RESULTS: It is likely that the mechanisms leading to dissemination bias in quantitative research, including time lag, language, gray literature, and truncation bias also contribute to dissemination bias in qualitative research. These conceptual considerations have informed the development of a research agenda.CONCLUSION: Further exploration of dissemination bias in qualitative research is needed, including the extent of non-dissemination and related dissemination bias, and how to assess dissemination bias within qualitative evidence syntheses. We also need to consider the mechanisms through which dissemination bias in qualitative research could occur to explore approaches for reducing it.
