In 2008, we conducted a survey and evaluation of the prioritisation process of Cochrane review groups that was published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology series. In 2012, we conducted a second evaluation focusing on challenges that Cochrane groups face and published a summary in Cochrane Methods 2013. We have currently another survey open.
Here are the results of the 2010 Monitoring and Registration Committee reports in response to the question: “Has your CRG established plans to ensure priority topics in your topic area are covered and up to date?” Data have been anonymised. Our thanks goes out to Rachel Marshall for compiling this information for us!
Cochrane Review Groups set their own priorities for topics of Cochrane Systematic Reviews. Listed below are a few examples of priority setting exercises fully or partially informing the priorities of a Cochrane group. If you want your group examples to be put up please write to us .
