Is there a set of reporting guidelines for Umbrella Reviews and Umbrella Review Protocols?

Hi All
Looking to create an umbrella review protocol and eventual umbrella review for a project I am working on but I cannot seem to find reporting guidelines for same. I was hoping there was something like PRISMA but for umbrella reviews and umbrella review protocols?
Additionally, what journals accept umbrella review protocols that are not hidden behind a pay wall that is open access fees. My field of expertise is in the health/social science space.

Hello Executive Michael,
For the good of researchers, ResearchGate should begin to offer automated peer review. Hence this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22662.14409
Not aware of a protocol, my experience is thst they are generally reported on in the same way as a systematic review while being descriptive also.

Did you check the EQUATOR network homepage? https://www.equator-network.org - if there is a protocol, it should be on there.
