See https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD00XXXX for a more recent review that covers this topic.
Screenshot example:
Suggested template text for Editorial notes to inform readers that a protocol will not be progressed to the review stage:
- This protocol will not be progressed to the review stage as it no longer meets Cochrane's methodological standards.
- This protocol will not be progressed to the review stage as there has been no progress with the review in XX months/years. New authors are being sought to take this topic forward.
- This protocol will not be progressed to a review because the topic is no longer considered a priority.
- To minimize research waste, this protocol will not be progressed to the review stage becasue we are aware of another good-quality review on this topic already in progress/published (provide reference if applicable).
When published, the Editorial note will also display in the PDF version on the Cochrane Library When published, the Editorial note is not considered to be part of the body of the review text and it is not passed to PubMed or third parties when it is published. It also appears in the PDF version and also above the plain language summary on https://www.cochrane.org/evidence. If the full text is on PubMed Central, the Editorial note will also be displayed there. Currently the Editorial note is not delivered to PubMed, but Cochrane and Wiley are exploring the options for displaying notes on PubMed.
