Happy 20th anniversary Cochrane collaborators!

The Cochrane Collaboration will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2013, and to celebrate the milestone we are promoting the work conducted by The Cochrane Collaboration (either generally, or in the field of dentistry by COHG) and getting the word out to increase usership and engagement with our reviews across the globe.

We would like our contributors to consider helping us to promote The Cochrane Collaboration's work during 2013; whether you want to use one of our formatted presentations, pre-approved written copy, supporting statements, timelines, branded logos or output graphs - we'll provide the materials you might need to spread the word; the important thing is that we get everyone talking about it!

To gain access to the password-protected prepared material, please email cohg@manchester.ac.uk and tell us how you're planning to promote CC20 and the COHG in 2013.

Managing expectations:
What you can expect from COHG, and what COHG expects from its authors

The Cochrane Collaboration is committed to encouraging wide participation in which the opportunities to contribute should be equally available to all.

In practice, reconciling the Collaboration’s principles of inclusivity with the limited capacity of CRGs and Centres to offer open-ended support necessarily means that COHG has to be pragmatic when considering approaches from new review teams.

For authors who are thinking about preparing a Cochrane Review, there is clear information about what is expected of them in terms of skills and competencies, and in return what they can expect from COHG by way of training and support.
