Cochrane Collaboration
The Cochrane Collaboration is an international organisation that aims
 to help people make well­informed decisions about healthcare by
preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic
reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions.

The Cochrane Collaboration was established as an international organisation in 1993 and has since developed a wide range of resources and materials to help guide newcomers in the philosophy of the organisation and systematic review processes.

The purpose of these web pages is to provide a basic, single reference source with an overview to the Cochrane Collaboration and Cochrane systematic reviews for health care professionals wishing to undertake a review. These pages are not intended to replace the existing resources which have been developed by the Cochrane Collaboration and associated Centres/Groups, but rather they highlight important information and make reference to the full resource guides where appropriate.

The Cochrane support services available through the Mater Research Support Centre are provided in collaboration with the Centre for Clinical Studies, Mater Health Services Brisbane and experienced Cochrane reviewers and support personnel. Support services include (though are not limited to): editorial and methodological advice; technical support, liaison with Cochrane Review Groups; literature searching; reference management; and where possible, content advice. Advice on the Interpretation of the results of Cochrane review and how to use Cochrane systematic reviews is also provided by staff at the MRSC.

Resources are provided and the MRSC would be happy to receive feedback and suggestions on additional information or resources that may be useful; feedback and suggestions can be made by contacting our Executive Support Officer Kate Reynolds or Cochrane Officer Glenda Hawley.

About the Cochrane Collaboration

The Cochrane Collaboration is an international organisation that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about health care by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. It is a not-for-profit organisation, established as a company, limited by guarantee, and registered as a charity in the UK (number 1045921).

Principles of the Collaboration

The Cochrane Collaboration's work is based on ten key principles:

  • Collaboration, by internally and externally fostering good communications, open decision-making and teamwork.
  • Building on the enthusiasm of individuals, by involving and supporting people of different skills and backgrounds.
  • Avoiding duplication, by good management and co-ordination to maximise economy of effort.
  • Minimising bias, through a variety of approaches such as scientific rigour, ensuring broad participation, and avoiding conflicts of interest.
  • Keeping up to date, by a commitment to ensure that Cochrane Reviews are maintained through identification and incorporation of new evidence.
  • Striving for relevance, by promoting the assessment of healthcare interventions using outcomes that matter to people making choices in health care.
  • Promoting access, by wise dissemination of the outputs of the Collaboration, taking advantage of strategic alliances, and by promoting appropriate prices, content and media to meet the needs of users worldwide.
  • Ensuring quality, by being open and responsive to criticism, applying advances in methodology, and developing systems for quality improvement.
  • Continuity, by ensuring that responsibility for reviews, editorial processes and key functions is maintained and renewed.

Enabling wide participation, in the work of the Collaboration by reducing barriers to contributing and by encouraging diversity.

Structure of the Collaboration

Collaborative Review Groups

The main work of the Collaboration is done by fifty Collaborative Review Groups, within which Cochrane Reviews prepared and maintained. The members of these groups - researchers, healthcare professionals, people using the health services (consumers), and others - have come together because they share an interest in generating reliable, up-to-date evidence relevant to the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of particular health problems or groups of problems.

Methods Groups

The science of research synthesis is still relatively young and evolving rapidly. Methods Groups have been established to develop methodology and advise the Collaboration on how the validity and precision of systematic reviews can be improved. For example, the Statistical Methods Group is assessing ways of handling different kinds of data for statistical synthesis, and the Applicability and Recommendations Methods Group is exploring important questions about drawing conclusions regarding implications for practice, based on the results of reviews.

Fields

Fields focus on dimensions of health care other than health problems, such as the setting of care (e.g. primary care), the type of consumer (e.g. older people), or the type of intervention (e.g. vaccines). People associated with Fields search specialist sources for relevant studies, help to ensure that priorities and perspectives in their sphere of interest are reflected in the work of Collaborative Review Groups, compile specialized databases, co-ordinate activities with relevant agencies outside the Collaboration, and comment on systematic reviews relating to their particular area.

Consumer Network

The Cochrane Consumer Network provides information and a forum for networking among consumers involved in the Collaboration, and a liaison point for consumer groups around the world.

Centres

The work of Collaborative Review Groups, Methods Groups, Fields and the Consumer Network is facilitated in a variety of ways by the work of a dozen Cochrane Centres around the world. They share responsibility for helping to co-ordinate and support members of the Collaboration in areas such as training, and they promote the objectives of the Collaboration at national level.

Step by step guide to undertaking a Cochrane systematic review

Qualifications Required

Though membership with a Cochrane Review Group is not based upon any specific formal qualifications and there are no membership fees, there are a number of key requirements for Cochrane membership. One must:

1. Have suitable skills (and willingness to learn new ones)
2. Can volunteer personal time over an extended period
3. Work as part of a team
4. Support the aims of the Collaboration
5. Share the Collaboration's spirit of goodwill

Steps in the Review Process

The main steps involved in undertaking a Cochrane systematic review include title registration with one of the Cochrane Review Groups, followed by protocol and review development and finally regular updates of the review.

In order to get started, it is generally a good idea to search The Cochrane Library and/or individual Cochrane Review Groups (CRG) (which have a remit related to your topic of interest) for existing protocols or reviews related to the title/question for which you wish to undertake a review to ensure that it hasn't already been done.  Once you have defined your title/question in the Cochrane format [(intervention) for (problem) in (category)] you will need to contact the relevant CRG co-ordinator to obtain a title registration form, which on completion will then need to be submitted for consideration.

Following title registration, the protocol for the review must be developed. The protocol stage not only outlines the background to the problem and objectives of the review, but the methods that will be employed in the review process including the criteria set for considering studies for inclusion within the review (ie. types of participants, interventions, outcomes and studies); the search strategy for identifying studies; and the methods of review (ie. assessing trial quality, data management and analysis). 

Once your protocol has been accepted for publication within The Cochrane Library, it's time to start the review process which involves implementing the search strategy and methods of review outlined in your protocol. The literature search will identify potentially relevant trials for inclusion within the review. Once trials have been identified, data extraction and analysis form the next step in the review process from which results, discussions and conclusions can be drawn.

For a more comprehensive guide to the various components of systematic review processes please refer to the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook and/or the Open Learning Material for Reviewers .

Manuals, Guidelines & Software

The Cochrane Collaboration provides a number of resource materials to help assist reviewers undertake systematic reviews in a structured, uniform manner.

Reviewers' Handbook

The Reviewers' Handbook is the official document which described in detail the process of creating Cochrane systematic reviews.

The Cochrane Collaboration and the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook focuses particularly on systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) because they are likely to provide more reliable information than other sources of evidence on the differential effects of alternative forms of healthcare. Systematic reviews of other types of evidence can also help those wanting to make better decisions about healthcare, particularly forms of care where RCTs have not been done and may not be possible or appropriate. The basic principles of reviewing research are the same, whatever type of evidence is been reviewed. Although the Cochrane Collaboration focuses mainly on systematic reviews of RCTs they address issues specific to reviewing other types of evidence when relevant.

The Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook can be either viewed online or downloaded from the following site:

http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane/hbook.htm

Review Manager Software (RevMan 5.0.21)
 Review Manager (RevMan) is the Cochrane Collaboration's program for preparing and maintaining Cochrane reviews. Cochrane reviews are prepared using RevMan, and adhere to a structured format that is described in the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook.

RevMan allows you to enter protocols, as well as full reviews. It can perform meta-analysis of the data entered, and present the results graphically using MetaView.

RevMan 5.0 software can be downloaded by going to the following site and following the instructions:
http://www.cc-ims.net/revman

Back to Top

RevMan User Guide


The aim of the user guide is to help with the preparation of a review within the Cochrane Collaboration's Review Manager software (RevMan). The user guide does not attempt to explain the methodological decisions you will need to make throughout your review but merely explains the functions and how to navigate your way around the program.

The RevMan User Guide can be downloaded in either PDF or Word format from the following site:
http://www.cc-ims.net/revman


Cochrane Style Guide
The Cochrane Style Guide (CSG) is designed to help reviewers and people responsible for copy editing to copy edit reviews and other documents produced by The Cochrane Collaboration in a consistent manner. The Cochrane Style Guide can be downloaded in either PDF of Word format from the following site:

http://www.cochrane.org/style/csg.htm


Open Learning Material for Reviewers
The Open Learning Material is designed to accompany the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook in helping you gain the skills necessary to complete your review. It does not replace the Reviewers' Handbook, instead it provides a framework to progressing through the Handbook, supplementing it with examples and activities along the way. This resource takes a step-by-step approach to Cochrane reviews, exploring each step individually, signposting appropriate links and references and providing examples and activities to help you make sense of the information. The material is organised in modules, each module relating to a consecutive section of your review. The Open Learning Material for Reviewers can be downloaded in HTML or PDF format from the following site:
