PROSPERO, looking good one year on
PROSPERO, the first open access online facility to prospectively register systematic reviews reports a successful first year with researchers from 27 countries around the world registering reviews.
We are delighted to announce that BMJ and BMJ Open have joined PLoS in supporting the principle of protocol registration and the aims of PROSPERO. In addition, the new BMC journal Systematic Reviews launched with a featured series of articles supporting systematic review registration and PROSPERO including a commentary on the NIHR position by Dame Sally Davies.
Registration is free and open to anyone undertaking systematic reviews of the effects of interventions and strategies to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor health conditions, for which there is a health related outcome.
Register your review when the protocol (or equivalent) has been completed but before screening studies for inclusion begins. Simply:
