1. Where are we now?
2. What do we need to do?
Where are we?
Cochrane has:
● The Cochrane Library
● RevMan
● Archie
● Cochrane.org community pages
● CRS
There are lots of other useful tools - We’ve started sharing them:
ims.cochrane.org/revman/other-resources
We need your help!
We want your feedback and insight to improve that page
Come speak to us
We need to:
A. Make authors more efficient - and Happy!
B: Make machines more efficient (and happy)?
C: Make tasty data
What do we need to do A: Make authors more efficient and Happy!
Fix the problems of smoothing the process between software
We need to work on our APIs...
...this will take time
Make new software
What else do we need to do?
What one author wants is not what another wants
Allow flexible reviews:
Make modular
Move online to give more freedom
What do we need to do B: Make machines more efficient (and happy)!
How much can we automate?
What can we start to automate using tools we have?
Primary StudiesCRS
Author Support Tools
RevMan
The Cochrane Library
What other tools do we need to improve automation?
What do we need to do
C: Make tasty data
Harness the power of getting primary studies in early
How could we get primary studies auto-feeding into systematic reviews as they both develop?
Can we take advantage of All trials success and get primary studies registered and available on an ongoing basis?
...data builds & is auto-fed in to registered systematic review…?
