Abstract

Abstract:

During this morning workshop we will discuss editorial and publishing policies that are currently in place, as well as future developments that are on the horizon. Of particular interest to Managing Editors and Assisting Managing Editors, the morning will focus on three main topics, with plenty of time for questions and discussions:

1. Co-publication process for Cochrane Reviews: permissions and copyright

This session will cover the current process for dealing with author requests for publishing a Cochrane Review, or parts of a Cochrane Review in a journal.

2. Authorship and Credit

Defining who should be listed as an author of a Cochrane Review, and how to provide credit for Cochrane authors using tools such as Orcid. We will also discuss plans for updating the current policy, and innovations in this area.

3. Editorial management systems for Cochrane content: what's next?

An update on current thinking around the editorial management system functionality of Archie. What are our current requirements for an editorial management system, and how can we deliver these updated requirements to editorial teams?
