All Cochrane authors will start to use new RevMan project management features in late 2024. These features break down the steps in review development into tasks and milestones, which display in RevMan. Tasks can be assigned to members of the author team and deadlines allocated. All tasks include links to relevant guidance and instructions. This helps authors stay on track with review progress, and understand the next steps in applying Cochrane methods and writing up results. This is a brand new feature in RevMan which should make the process of writing a Cochrane Review easier and encourage timely progress to submission and publication.
In this Cochrane Learning Live webinar, the presenter provided a comprehensive overview of all essential project management functionality (e.g. getting started, new functionalities in RevMan, tasks and milestones, decision log).
The session was of particular interest to Cochrane authors, anyone interested in becoming a Cochrane author, staff in groups supporting authors as well as non-Cochrane authors/users of RevMan. It was delivered in December 2024 and below you will find the videos from the webinar, together with the accompanying slides to download [PDF].
