Cochrane Centers
All Cochrane centers share a common responsibility
for helping to coordinate and support the Cochrane Collaboration,
although the unique functions of each center reflect the interests
of the individuals associated with it and the resources made available
to them. The common responsibilities of all centers include:
- Helping people to find out more about the Collabration
and its reviews
- Helping people to receive training in doing reviews
- Fostering international collaboration among people
with similar interests by participating in exploratory discussions
and meetings, helping to organise workshops, and other means
- Coordinating handsearches of health care journals
published within the geographical area served by the Center
- Working with the public, health service providers
and purchasers, policy makers and the press to help them make
full use of Cochrane reviews
- Organizing workshops, seminars and Colloquia to
support and guide the development of the Cochrane Collaboration
- Maintaining a regional directory of people contributing
to the Collaboration, with information about their individual
responsibilities and interests
The Cochrane centers are not directly responsible
for preparing and maintaining systematic reviews. This is the responsibility
of collaborative review groups.
