Do you want to be a Cochrane author?
If you have expertise in some aspect of healthcare, consider joining the relevant Cochrane Review Group. If there is not yet a group which covers your specialty, register your interest in being part of a new group. Being part of a Cochrane review group provides the support, resources and training to tackle a systematic review, and an international audience when your work is published in Cochrane Library.
Take a look at:
- Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions - the official guide to producing Cochrane reviews
- Reporting the effects of an intervention in EPOC reviews - principles and guidance in how to report findings of a Cochrane review
- RevMan web page - documentation and support for software for preparing and maintaining Cochrane reviews
- GRADEpro - (GRADEprofiler) is the software used to create Summary of Findings (SoF) tables in Cochrane systematic reviews
- Cochrane Style Resource - compare your Cochrane Review against the official style guide
- Reporting Guidelines
- CONSORT - reporting of RCTs
- PRISMA (formerly QUOROM) - preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- STROBE - reporting of observational studies in epidemiology
- EQUATOR Network - collection of reporting guidelines - Cochrane Diagnostic Test Accuracy Group
Training - face-to-face
