Abstract
Objectives:
To give prospective authors tools for registering a title for a Cochrane Review through learning activities to help participants choose a topic and write a successful title proposal.
Description:
We will spend the first 30 minutes of the workshop discussing how to choose an appropriate topic for title registration. This will include a demonstration of how to search The Cochrane Library for overlapping or related titles/reviews; we will use both pre-identified topics and examples shared by the participants. We will discuss the basic concepts of the intervention review, with a focus on defining the PICO (population, intervention, comparisons, and outcomes). As a group, we will discuss important factors in forming author teams and how to collaborate successfully with co-authors and members of the editorial team. We will work through the Cochrane Back Review Group’s title registration checklist as an example and discuss how to identify and contact the relevant Cochrane Review Group for a given review topic. In the last 40 minutes of the workshop, participants will work in teams on a draft title proposal (using either sample topics we provide or their own ideas).
