Editorial
Central Editorial Service (CES)
All reviews are handled by Cochrane CES. CES oversees the editorial and peer review process, as well as production. We are still available to provide support to author teams prior to submission. Please get in touch with us before you submit your review so we can check the manuscript prior to submission.
Find out more about Cochrane’s editorial process here.
Cochrane resources for authors
Information for authors submitting to Cochrane
Note that pre-submission checklist is now mandatory at submission!
It is essential that all new Cochrane authors complete the online course Cochrane Interactive Learning: Conducting an Intervention Review in case they have not completed a Cochrane course on systematic reviews previously (ie a face-to-face course).
RevMan Web review management
Cochrane has just introduced a new feature in RevMan Web helping you to manage your reviews. You are able to assign tasks and milestones to authors and keep track of the review development process. Find out more about the review management feature for authors on RMW knowledge base.
