I need a systematic review that examines how minipublics affect policy, participants, and broader democratic outcomes. Scopus will be the primary search engine, so the entire protocol—from search string design to screening—must be aligned with its indexing structure and export formats. This project builds on an existing study that maps the field up to 2020. The review must therefore update this prior work by incorporating all relevant studies published since then, while strictly adhering to the same research principles, methodological approach, and conceptual framework used in the original study. Deliverables • An updated reference list exported directly from Scopus in APA 7th style • A concise comparative subsection positioning minipublic outcomes alongside at least two other public participation formats • A final, submission-ready version of the complete article in Word format Acceptance criteria The draft must include all post-2020 Scopus-indexed studies that meet the stated criteria, demonstrate critical synthesis rather than simple description, and maintain a formal yet readable academic tone throughout.
