We support the production of high quality systematic reviews through our collaborations with the Cochrane Collaboration (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochrane.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.cochrane.org\/<\/a>) and Singapore Cochrane (<a href=\"https:\/\/singapore.cochrane.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/singapore.cochrane.org\/<\/a>).

(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crd.york.ac.uk\/prospero\/#index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.crd.york.ac.uk\/prospero\/#index.php<\/a>) PROSPERO assigns each registered review with a unique registration number. Note that this number can be cited in publications and reports to provide the link between the planned and completed review, as recommended by PRISMA 2009 and many publishers. SRU can provide consultation and support in developing a Non-Cochrane review protocol and help register with PROSPERO<\/p>\n<p>Registration in PROSPERO involves the submission and publication of information about the objectives, design and conduct of a systematic review. No quality assessment or peer review of the information in the protocol is undertaken but records will be published on an open access electronic database.<br \/>\nPROSPERO provides a comprehensive listing of systematic reviews registered at inception to help avoid duplication and reduce opportunity for reporting bias by enabling comparison completed review with what was planned in the protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Registration records are permanent and registrants are asked to provide links to subsequent reports and publications. The record can be \u2018re-activated\u2019 when a completed review is updated.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fl-heading\"><span class=\"fl-heading-text\">RevMan Web<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>RevMan Web<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span>is the web-based platform used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews.
