Abstract
Objectives:

To allow participants to explore a range of advanced features of the Cochrane Register of Studies (CRS).

Description:

The Cochrane Register of Studies (CRS) is the new Specialised Register (SR) management system developed by Metaxis Ltd on behalf of The Cochrane Collaboration. The CRS is the mandatory mechanism for submitting records to the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), but it also offers new functionality to enhance working practices in relation to SR development and maintenance. Participants in this practical workshop will have the opportunity to explore a range of CRS features, including advanced search functionality, duplicate identification, and tracking features. There will be an opportunity for participants to discuss issues of concern and to share their ideas and experience of using the CRS. This workshop is aimed at Cochrane group editorial staff who wish to explore the advanced features of the program.
