Bibliographic systematic reviews emerged in the health area and were later adopted by other scientific fields, based on adaptations to better attend to their study objects. As the socio-environmental field is relatively new, it is hard to find a guide to orient bibliographic systematic reviews about emergent problems in the knowledge area. Therefore, aiming to include qualitative studies, more common to the social and human sciences, as well as quantitative studies, more common to the natural science, this article proposes an integrative review protocol adapted to the specifications of socio-environmental studies. Hence, the literature was verified regarding systematic bibliographic reviews and a documentary survey was carried out, which included forms, templates and support systems to search specific elements, tools and procedures that can be used in the socio-environmental area. The proposal of a specific method has the potential to contribute more rigor to the systematic reviews that take place in the socio-environmental field and to collaborate to the disclosing of its research studies, in addition to the possibility of being used as a tool for interdisciplinarity practice among researchers of the diverse scientific fields in the area.
