It is unique in two ways: (1) crgs monitor the process of review development throughout the editorial life cycle, beginning with registration of a title, through preparation and publication of the protocol and completed review; (2) cochrane reviews are updated to take account of emerging evidence, to provide the best and most current evidence to guide ials and ials aim to stimulate discussion and ideas around the development of evidence synthesis to promote good decision-making in clinical care and health policy. The editor in chief may commission editorials linked to cochrane reviews of interest or on topics likely to be of interest to a broad readership. Proposals for editorials are welcome and should be submitted to the editor in chief for 2009, the abstracts from cochrane colloquia and other conferences have been published as cdsr supplements.

Readers of a cochrane review can do this by clicking on the "submit comments" button, under article tools (access via the 'standard' version of the cochrane review), not the enhanced accessed cochrane reviews (2016).
