Cochrane Renal Group

Developing your review

Your protocol describes your review methods and it will guide you in developing your review. The editorial process for reviews is similar to that for a protocol.

When you have completed your review to your own satisfaction it should be submitted 'formally' to the Editorial Base. This means that it will again be entered into the Renal Group referee process. The same referees of the protocol also referee the review, with the addition of our Statistical Advisor. The comments from all referees will be provided to you by the Review Group Coordinator.

Following any necessary revisions and approval by the Editorial Team, the completed review is submitted to the Cochrane Library for publication. Once your review is published you are entitled to a free subscription to the Cochrane Library and you will receive a copy four times a year.

A selection of information resources including guidelines and checklists are available for you to use when writing your review under the For Authors section of our web site
