Further exploration of The Cochrane Library (optional)

If you do have access to The Cochrane Library, here are some more things to try.

  • If you are interested in how reviews are done, and research about ways to improve reviews, have a look through the list of Methods Groups - groups of people who are interested in particular methodological questions. Do any seem relevant to your interests? If so, you might like to consider joining one.
  • Look at the list of Fields. These were explained in the Cochrane Collaboration Brochure. Is there a Field in which you are interested?
  • Finally, have a look at the reviews on the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Find a review that is of interest to you, either by scrolling through the list of titles or doing a Search. Have a read of the review (printing it out if you prefer), and ask yourself the same things you did when reading a review in module 1 - how relevant is this review, how well does it summarise the evidence, and how could I do it better? Make some notes so that you can return to them later on, after completing the modules.
