There are standard forms that Cochrane Review Groups may modify and use to receive review proposals from authors. These forms, developed by the Cochrane Editorial Resources Committee, were previously called Title Registration Forms and were renamed Review Proposal Forms in 2013.
On receiving a completed Review Proposal Form, the Review Group Managing Editor will initiate a Title Registration workflow (see flowchart in workflows section).
In situations where a Cochrane Review Group editorial team considers a proposed title to be potentially important but outside the scope of their group, they may ask the Cochrane Editorial & Methods Department to assist review author teams in finding an appropriate Cochrane Review Group.
