Abstract
Background:
This workshop is intended for Cochrane Editors and Trainers familiar with RevMan 5, but with little or no previous experience of RevMan Web. RevMan Web is the first major redesign of the RevMan software since 2008 and is planned to be available for all Cochrane authors in 2018.
Objectives:
- participants will learn first-hand how to use RevMan Web to write an intervention review;
- participants will learn what’s new in RevMan Web compared to RevMan 5
- participants will understand how RevMan Web fits with other tools such as Covidence, EPPI-Reviewer and GRADEpro as part of Cochrane’s review ecosystem;
- participants will learn about the future of RevMan Web through its development roadmap and how they can affect it;
- participants will discuss the role of Cochrane Editors and Trainers in the roll-out and development of RevMan Web.
Description:
This workshop offers the opportunity to learn first-hand how to use RevMan Web to prepare an intervention review. Participants will be guided through hands-on exercises to demonstrate the systematic review writing process using RevMan Web, including interactions with complementary tools. We will cover the future development roadmap of RevMan Web and how both versions of RevMan will operate within the Cochrane Review ecosystem and complement each other for the foreseeable future. Finally, we will discuss the role of Cochrane Editors and Trainers in the roll out and future development of RevMan Web, and present the tools available to help them in this role.
Note: participants should bring their own laptop (preferably) or tablet to participate in the hands-on session, or will be able to share with other participants.
