A2.6.2 Principles of monitoring

The monitoring process is conducted according to the following six principles:

1. Participation and full engagement with the monitoring process is a mandatory requirement of registered and approved Cochrane entities.
2. Entities are not in competition with one another; rather, they are encouraged to set their own targets.
3. Peers within The Cochrane Collaboration monitor the performance and productivity of entities.
4. The Monitoring and Registration Committee strives at all times to be supportive and helpful in its dealings with entities.
5. Access to monitoring documents is restricted in order to preserve the confidentiality of the monitoring process.
