Welcome to the Cochrane Style Resource

The Cochrane Style Resource includes the Cochrane Style Guide (for authors and editors), Cochrane Style Basics (for authors), information about the Copy Edit Support and the Cochrane Style Guide Working Group, and resources used at relevant workshops.

Cochrane Style Guide: version 3.0 released in October 2005; Wiley style alert added January 2006. The Cochrane Style Guide is being updated to coincide with the release of RevMan 5 in March 2008

Cochrane Style Basics: a two-page summary of the Cochrane Style Guide designed specifically for review authors

Copy-Editing Checklist: no longer available on the Cochrane Style Resource; Quality Advisory Group will incorporate them into new technical-editing guidelines

Copy Edit Support: Need help with copy editing? Copy Edit Support is a central resource provided by Wiley to help editorial staff at review groups to achieve a high standard of copy editing in all their reviews. We accept reviews, protocols, and updates in html format. Documents are copy edited by a team of freelances and returned in Microsoft Word format with tracked changes.
