Identifying CPGs is a comprehensive process that includes searching guideline databases/repositories and screening websites of guideline developers or point-of-care clinical reference tools. Bibliographic databases might be considered only a supplemental source for finding CPGs, as many high-quality CPGs are not indexed there. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an extensive checklist of guideline sources to ensure a thorough search and find as many relevant guidelines as possible. Objective The project aims to identify and gather search sources for CPGs. Methods and future prospects Developing a checklist of guideline sources was initiated from the Czech national project’s ‘Clinical Practice Guidelines’ demand to systematically identify CPGs eligible for adoption, adaptation or adolopment.

We also check reference lists, authors and search sources of retrieved CPGs and systematic reviews of CPGs. The checklist currently includes more than 70 records divided into guideline databases/repositories, point-of-care clinical reference tools, health institutions or governments and scientific societies. In the future, we would like to keep broadening our checklist with a focus on sources for CPGs written in non-
