for systematic reviews
Jessica Thomas and Jacob Riis, Silos Inc.
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 Studies
CRS
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…?
WIKITRIALS?
● Crowdsourced
● Global resource for post-publication
peer-review
● Producers & users systematic
review data - tasty!
