Abstrakt:	Objective: The aim of the review is to map the existing evidence regarding the data-sharing practices of health researchers in African countries. This review will also identify perceptions; barriers; facilitators; ethical-, legal-, and author-reported recommendations; as well as institutional- and funding-related aspects that are being considered by African health researchers on data sharing in Africa and, as a result, identify areas for development and improvement in health care on the continent. Introduction: The sharing of health-related data has been widely discussed in the literature. However, sharing health-related data has yet to become a common practice among health researchers in Africa, which bears a large burden of health diseases globally. The sharing of health research data could lead to greater development and improvement in health care in Africa. Inclusion Criteria: This review will incorporate studies that report on data sharing among health researchers in Africa. All primary, secondary, and gray literature will be considered for inclusion. Studies on data sharing on topics other than health-related data will be excluded. No language restrictions will be applied. Methods: The JBI scoping review methodological framework will be adopted. An initial search of databases such as MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS, and Web of Science will be conducted. All search results will be screened and relevant data extracted by two independent reviewers. The findings will be presented in the final scoping review report and illustrated in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews flow diagram. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. (Copyright © 2021 JBI.)
