A warm welcome to everyone who is interested in writing a systematic review within the scope of Cochrane Childhood Cancer
You may have heard that writing a Cochrane review is a big commitment. Authors are expected to adhere to the methodological standards as set out in the Cochrane Handbook. This can be very time-consuming, especially for new review authors who are not yet familiar with Cochrane methods. Fortunately, Cochrane offers many resources/tools to help you write your systematic review, such as training workshops, online training modules, webinars and the Cochrane Handbooks.
Our website also offers a lot of useful information, tools and documents. First of all, our website includes information on each of the four stages in preparing a systematic review on Interventions*
- propose a Title
- submit the Protocol
- submit the full Review
- submit an Update
