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 2014.
- For reviews where the title was registered after 14 October 2020 (and updates where the decision to update was made 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 the decision to update was made after this date) the 2014 version of the CoI policy applies – see Policy: Conflicts of interest and Cochrane Reviews.
