Getting involved as a Review Author

If you have expertise in some aspect of healthcare, consider joining the relevant Cochrane Group. Being part of a Cochrane  group provides the support, resources and training to tackle a systematic review, and an international audience when your work is published in The Cochrane Library.
To gain an understanding of the process and requirments for completeing a review please look at some of the free Cochrane training resources   https://training.cochrane.org/about

Cochrane is moving its editorial process to the online submission system Editorial Manager. Potential authors interested in submitting a review proposal to GNOC should log in to Editorial Manager and select Submit New Manuscript. For further information see our instructions for authors on submitting new proposals. If we are interested in your initial proposal we will invite you to submit a full review proposal via an online form within Editorial Manager.
