Who and what is The Cochrane Collaboration? How can they help you performing your systematic review?

The Cochrane Collaboration aims to promote evidence-informed decision making by producing high quality systematic reviews. In order to comply with methodological standards laid out by the collaboration, review authors must develop specific skills in literature searching, critical appraisal, meta-analysis, interpretation and communication of results.

During this Knowledge 2 Connect seminar, Trudy Bekkering from Cochrane Belgium will explain how the Cochrane Collaboration can assist systematic reviewers in performing and communicating their work. Afterwards, long-time cochrane author, guideline development methodologist, and practicing nephrologist at Ghent University Hospital, Prof. Evi Nagler, will share her insights in how to become a Cochrane collaborator
