Please see the Cochrane Library editorial policy on authorship.
Editors may refer to Authorship and contributorship in the revised editorial guidance resource.



Cochrane Reviews may be authored by a group of authors who also choose to use a group name. Separate the list of the individual authors from the group name (if used) with either '[insert last individual author]; for the [insert group name]' or '[insert last individual author]; [insert group name]'. For example:

  • Smith A, Davis B, Jones C; for the TOPIC Group. Article title. Etc
  • Smith A, Davis B, Jones C; TOPIC Group. Article title. Etc

This approach is based on a recommendation by the Council of Science Editors.
