Agreed There are a number of ¡®variables¡¯ and/but prediction ¡®rules¡¯ may be less than precise. From experience the majority of Managing Editors of Cochrane Review Groups are very helpful and would/could be able to provide a sense of time-to-publication to within 3 months Zbys Fedorowicz Director The Bahrain Branch of the UK Cochrane Centre The Cochrane Collaboration For information on the Bahrain branch see: http://bahrain.cochrane.org/en/index.html ¢Ï +973-39188056 There are two kinds of people, those who do the work, and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group: there is less competition there.

Cochrane reviews can go through several rounds of internal review until the editorial team is satisfied with the quality of the review. Also, now Cochrane has moved to a publish when ready model, where once a review is entered in the system as ready for publishing, it gets published a few hours later in the CDSR. So for you to get the information you are after, either you have get a close working relationship with each managing editor in the Cochrane review groups or forge an official relationship between Trip and Cochrane so you are notified on a regular basis. Of course, I may be completely wrong, but that¡¯s the way I am seeing the situation. Hope this helps.

The protocol has been suggested but there appears to be little ability to predict when a review is published based on the protocol - but I'll happy to hear otherwise. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Best wishes jon -- Jon Brassey Trip Database http://www.tripdatabase.com Find evidence fast
