NOW AVAILABLE: New and improved article display for systematic reviews on The Cochrane Library

From August 6th The Cochrane Library introduced a number of enhancements for using and displaying Cochrane Reviews and Protocols in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. These changes take advantage of some of the new features and functionality introduced with the launch of the Wiley Online Library in 2010. They include long-awaited changes to the appearance, function and navigation at the level of the individual reviews. Also included in this iteration are article level-citations, and the ability to identify "related Cochrane Reviews".

A document introducing all the recent changes is available here.

If you have any difficulties, please contact cs-cochrane@wiley.com or for account managed customers please contact your Wiley Account Manager. For information on training, go to the Wiley Online Workshops page, to see details of upcoming Cochrane Online Training Sessions.
