Objectives: To provide an introductory hands-on experience of EPPI-Reviewer 4, an online web-based software programme designed to support the production of a wide range of systematic reviews, combined with description of the underlying principles, allowing reviewers to become familiar with the program.

Description: As part of the CAST (Cochrane Author Support Tool) project, EPPI-Reviewer 4 is now available for Cochrane authors and can be used to conduct reviews that require some flexibility in the software that they are conducted in; for example, to accommodate emerging methods, to conduct non-intervention and mixed-methods reviews and/or to develop new methodologies.

In this introductory workshop users will learn basic EPPI-Reviewer procedures and will gain an overview of the software. It will be an opportunity for users to feed back to us their views and experiences, in order for us to fine-tune support for particular needs.

You are encouraged to bring your own laptop to the session (Windows or Mac, EPPI-Reviewer does not support iOS or Android)
