Are you interested in preparing a Cochrane Review?

Preparing a review with our Group

First, familiarize yourself with Cochrane Reviews and with those reviews prepared by the Cochrane HIV/AIDS Group.

You should be aware that undertaking a Cochrane Review is a big commitment and a time-consuming process, but it is also also a very rewarding endeavor.

Choosing your topic

The next step is to select a research question. We are most interested in reviews addressing the urgent conditions of resource-constrained settings.

If you have an idea for a systematic review that is urgently needed, it may be useful for you to consult our current list of completed reviews, reviews in progress, and registered tiitles, just to be sure that you choose a topic that differs from these. See if you can find a "gap" in what these reviews cover. That is to say, try to perceive an area of HIV/AIDS research that is not yet covered in a Cochrane review, but ought to be covered. This may be a useful way to think of a title in an area that interests you.

You can find our current list of reviews, protocols and registered titles on this page.

Once you have decided on a topic, you can register your intent by completing the title registration form. We will circulate your title among our Editors, and should be able to give you an answer within a few days. If all goes well, we will then register your title.

Please note: We are not accepting any proposals for reviews of diagnostic test accuracy at this time.

Thank you very much!
