A systematic review registry, like PROSPERO, is a public database for pre-registering review protocols. Registration is ethically imperative to prevent duplication, reduce reporting bias, and promote transparency. Practically, it establishes precedence, enhances methodological rigor, and is often a mandatory requirement for publication in leading journals.
