Methodological research using PROSPERO data

PROSPERO is creating opportunities for methodological research. The information being collected and published in PROSPERO will be of interest to many. As a matter of courtesy and in order to avoid duplication of effort, we ask that anyone planning research using PROSPERO data provide us with brief details of their work so we can record it here. Publications or presentations that use information obtained from PROSPERO should cite and acknowledge PROSPERO as the source of data. We would appreciate receiving details of such publications so that we can link to them from these pages.
