1.4.3 Mailing lists

The Cochrane Collaboration’s website provides details of all the unrestricted Cochrane mailing lists, and instructions on how to subscribe to them. Following are details of most of the Cochrane lists currently in existence, some of which are restricted to a specific group of people, who have to be added to the list by a ‘list moderator’, and some of which may be subscribed to directly.

Restricted membership

If you believe you should be added to/removed from one of these lists, please contact The Cochrane Operations Unit (operations-unit@cochrane.org). Anyone in the organization may e-mail the following list(s), regardless of whether or not they are themselves subscribers. Many of these lists are moderated, i.e. messages to them are screened by a list ‘moderator’ to prevent spam from reaching the list subscribers.

The lists in bold typeface above are the ‘entity lists’: these are the addresses to be used when e-mailing the main contact people of all entities. In addition, when relevant, messages to 'all entities' should be copied to the Co-ordinating Editors’ list (coeds@lists.cochrane.org), the Trials Search Co-ordinators’ list (tscs@lists.cochrane.org); also to the editor of CCInfo and Cochrane News (cochrane@uottawa.ca).

Unrestricted membership
