On the 30th January 2018 you should have all received an email updating you on the new milestones and revised scope which we hope makes the task more achievable.
| Question | Reponse |
|---|---|
Do I need to annotate the studies in our reviews? | For now you are being asked to annotate ONLY the methods sections. However, if you wish, you can annotate the included studies |
| We were told we would have to QA annotations done by Aptara for the pilot, do we still have to do this? | No. We focused on only six CRGs from whom we got feedback. We will send out futher communication about this. |
Is there anyone who can help me with this work? | If you need someone to do some annotation for you, in order to meet the recently communicated milestones, email Deirdre (dbeecher@cochrane.org). |
| Can you confirm that the “methods only” annotation also applies to the December 2018 milestone (i.e. for everything we have published from 2015 onwards)? | Yes this is correct. |
I assume the annotation of studies will be required at some point in the future. Can you give me an idea of when this will begin? | This is being discussed within the team on how we can annotate studies and/or analyses however for 2018 your focus is on annotating the methods sections of your reviews. |
