I’m curious—for those of you working on, or who have worked on, systematics reviews—did you register your protocol at PROSPERO?
http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/
I have worked on quite a few (as the librarian searcher), but hadn’t suggested it in the past. I started on a new one today and made the suggestion to the researcher that he might want to consider registering this. The PRISMA (SR/MA reporting guidelines) statement does include the option of including protocol registration information. I know in the past this has been limited to Cochrane.
I personally would find it helpful if others working on SRs did make use of this registry. I have used the clinical trials db for SRs to determine if there are PIs my author should contact. The SR registry would be a great way to determine if an SR is underway but not complete. (I always check for prior reviews in the published literature.) If so, is there room for collaboration?
Thoughts?
