Dear Colleagues
We would like to thank all those who took part in the Delphi exercise to
help establish the minimum dataset for the Register of Ongoing Systematic
Reviews. A summary of the responses to the second round of questions can be
found at
http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/projects/register_summary_second_round.htm
The exercise is now complete and the responses and comments received are
being considered by CRD and the Register Advisory Group. A paper for peer
review publication will document the process and the decisions made in
addressing the issues raised in the Delphi consultation. Progress reports on
the development of the Register will be posted on the CRD website.
In addition to directly contributing to the development and implementation
of the Register, the responses to the Delphi exercise will also inform the
development of reporting guidelines for systematic review protocols.
If you have any further comments at any time, please contact us at
[log in to unmask] Thank you again for your time and interest.
Yours sincerely
