Please see the Cochrane Library editorial policy on conflicts of interest.
Editors may refer to Conflicts of interest and Cochrane Library content in the revised editorial guidance resource.
Cochrane has two conflict of interest policies relating to Cochrane Library content. Which policy applies to a particular review or update depends on whether the title of the review was registered (or whether work began on the update in the case of an update) before or after 14 October 2020.
- For reviews where the title was registered after 14 October 2020 (and updates where work began on the update after this date) the Conflict of Interest Policy for Cochrane Library Content (2020) applies. All information on this policy is on the CoI Portal.
- For reviews where the title was registered before 14 October 2020 (and updates where work began on the update before this date) the 2014 version of the conflict of interest policy applies.
