Cochrane Methods is pleased to welcome Matt Page to the Cochrane Methods Executive!

Matt Page is a Senior Research Fellow and Deputy Head of the Methods in Evidence Synthesis Unit in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University. 

His research aims to improve the credibility of health and medical research syntheses. He has led studies investigating the transparency, reproducibility and risk of bias in systematic reviews and the studies they include, and has developed methods to address these issues. He co-led the development of the PRISMA 2020 statement and was a member of the core group that developed the RoB 2 tool for assessing risk of bias in randomized trials. He is an associate scientific editor for the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and convenor of the Bias Methods Group. He has collaborated on many systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the effects of various interventions for a range of health conditions, including manual therapy and exercise for shoulder pain, splinting for carpal tunnel syndrome, and testosterone replacement therapy for sexual well-being; this applied work often informs his research agenda.

There was one open position on the Methods Executive. Jo McKenzie (Statistics) will rotate off at the end of 2023. Matt Page will join the team next September 2023. Details on the Methods Executive and membership can be found here.

Please help us welcome Matt Page to the Methods Executive! And thank Jo McKenzie for her valuable contributions over the years.
