Professional induction presented challenges that affected music teachers’ well-being, professional development, and retention. Discipline-specific working conditions and organizational contexts add further complexity. Although early-career experiences have been studied, the scope and nature of existing evidence remained unclear. This scoping review mapped and synthesized research on early-career music teachers’ experiences, including challenges, support sources, and protective factors. Forty-five studies published between 1995 and 2024, mostly qualitative and conducted in the United States, met inclusion criteria. The findings characterized professional induction as a multidimensional turning point shaped by structural challenges, the quality of support, and teachers’ individual perceptions. Despite demanding conditions, this period generated meaning, satisfaction, and professional growth. A deeper understanding of this experience could inform education policies, induction programs, and mentoring systems designed to reflect the realities of music teaching. Further research in diverse contexts and using longitudinal designs was recommended to better support early-career music teachers’ induction and retention.

Introduction Neological (non-)diffusion factors are defined and operationalized heterogeneously across a limited and fragmented body of research, are rarely systematically inventoried, and are seldom examined jointly, hindering cumulative understanding of (non-)diffusion processes. Objectives To systematically inventory the linguistic and extralinguistic factors associated with neological (non-)diffusion; to examine how these factors and related constructs are defined and operationalized; and to assess their distribution and co-occurrence across two publication languages, research disciplines, and time periods. Inclusion criteria Peer-reviewed and grey literature will be considered. Eligible sources must have produced since 1952, be written in English or French, and address one or more (extra-)linguistic factors associated with neological (non-)diffusion. Both empirical and theoretical contributions will be included. Methods The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, with reporting guided by PRISMA-ScR. Language-specific search strategies will be applied in Web of Science, LLBA, CMMC, Sociological Abstracts, Google Scholar, ProQuest, and selected French-language databases (Érudit and Cairn). Searches will combine near-synonyms of the word neologism (e.g. lexical innovation ) with (non-)diffusion-related terms (e.g., diffusion, implantation ). Given the anticipated volume (n ≈ 10,000+), title and abstract screening will be semi-automated using ASReview. Forward and backward citation chaining will also be conducted. After instrument calibration, data charting will use a hybrid workflow combining human extraction, AI-assisted second rating, and targeted manual verification. A key analysis will be decomposing factor definitions and grouping them to identify recurring patterns and points of convergence or divergence. Discussion By synthesizing evidence across disciplines and languages, this review will provide a systematic inventory of the linguistic and extralinguistic factors associated with neological (non-)diffusion, together with an account of how these factors have been defined and operationalized. In doing so, it will render the existing evidence base more comparable and cumulatively usable, and provide a reference framework for future empirical research.

Digital technologies (DTechs) are considered a must-have asset for the creation, storage and transfer of knowledge. Previous research results have measured DTech's effectiveness in many organizations' activities. Considering the current business context, besides the need to manage their knowledge and effectively use DTech, organizations are required to establish management practices that contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably, the need to ensure the security, health and well-being of workers. This scoping review proposes a synthesis of the use of DTech for OHS prevention in a sustainable way. A total of 18087 abstracts were retrieved during the initial search. After the selection process and elimination of duplicates, 83 articles were eligible for full-text selection, of which 28 studies were eligible for inclusion. An analysis by industry sector and a bibliometric network analysis were carried out. To identify the factors influencing the use of DTech for occupational health and safety (OHS) prevention, we also carried out a preliminary synthesis of relative knowledge, the results of which highlight the type of digital technologies used, the theoretical models used and the factors that contribute to the use of DTechs.

Background: Since the publication of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, several countries have adopted laws, policies, and action plans to improve the universal accessibility of environments to improve inclusion and social participation of all citizens. Different organizations are involved in the application of these measures. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify strategies that are contextually appropriate and provide guidelines for organizations to promote successful implementation of universal accessibility. Methods: We will conduct a scoping review identifying implementation strategies of universal accessibility measures in local organizations using the Arksey and O’Malley framework. We will search in Medline, CINHAL, Urban Studies Abstracts, ABI Inform, and Social Sciences Full Text from 2006 until today, following the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Two reviewers will independently select studies for inclusion and will extract the data. A descriptive and thematic analysis of the characteristics of the identified implementation strategies will be performed. Results: Implementation strategies will be summarized in tables. They will then be linked to various constructs and domains listed in the Theoretical Domain Framework to identify barriers and facilitators of organizations’ uptake of evidence-based strategies of implementation. Conclusions: We will tabulate the characteristics of the included studies and the outcomes of implementation strategies in them. The results of this scoping review are expected to help the research community in various fields, local organizations, and stakeholders to identify better ways to improve implementation strategies of universal accessibility practices.

Background: Clinical teachers often struggle to report unsatisfactory trainee performance, partly because of a lack of evidence-based remediation options. Objectives: To identify interventions for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) medical learners experiencing academic difficulties, link them to a theory-based framework and provide literature-based recommendations around their use. Methods: This systematic review searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, ERIC, Education Source and PsycINFO (1990–2016) combining these concepts: medical education, professional competence/difficulty and educational support. Original research/innovation reports describing intervention(s) for UG/PG medical learners with academic difficulties were included. Data extraction employed Michie’s Behavior Change Techniques (BCT) Taxonomy and program evaluation models from Stufflebeam and Kirkpatrick. Quality appraisal used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The authors synthesized extracted evidence by adapting the GRADE approach to formulate recommendations. Results: Sixty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria, most commonly addressing knowledge (66.2%), skills (53.9%) and attitudinal problems (26.2%), or learner personal issues (41.5%). The most common BCTs were Shaping knowledge, Feedback/monitoring, and Repetition/substitution. Quality appraisal was variable (MMAT 0–100%). A thematic content analysis identified 109 interventions (UG: n = 84, PG: n = 58), providing 24 strong, 48 moderate, 26 weak and 11 very weak recommendations. Conclusion: This review provides a repertoire of literature-based interventions for teaching/learning, faculty development, and research purposes.
