We recommend the official and extensive Cochrane Style Manual (also available in the 'help' menu of Review Manager) to all of our authors.

A concise manual is also available at Cochrane Style Basics. It includes often encountered problems and difficulties other authors have experienced.

Please read carefully before handing in your protocol or review for editorial approval.

Protocols and reviews not adhering to the style guide will instantly be rejected and sent back to authors for revision.
