FAQ

The steps I followed to delete his account were:

1. Search in Archie advanced search for the following: Documents search, Match all rows (AND) Person with Role | Is | ("Name")
 
2. For each of the documents that they are a Contact Person:
 2.1 Open the Properties > People
 2.2 Select their name and click Edit
 2.3 Replace their name with another user
 
It is a bit tedious process as you will need to do for all the documents.

• RevMan asks for a user name and password, which I do not have.
• I do not have an Archie / Cochrane Account
• I'm not a Cochrane author
• I'm not working on a Cochrane Review
• RevMan is slow (not just for large review)

Review Manager 5 (RevMan 5) is the software used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews. Together with Archie, RevMan 5 forms the core Cochrane authoring infrastructure, which enables Cochrane contributors to meet the demands of producing high quality systematic reviews of the evidence of the effects of healthcare and deliver these for publication in the Cochrane Library and elsewhere.

If you are not working on a Cochrane Review, and do not have a Cochrane Account or Archie log-in, you can enable 'Non-Cochrane mode'. To do this:

On a PC: visit Tools > Preferences > General > enable 'Non-Cochrane mode'
On a Mac: visit RevMan 5 menu > Preferences > General > enable 'Non-Cochrane mode'

• The JVM could not be started
• Error message - "the maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution"
• Problem is not related to a specific review or file
• RevMan is very slow when editing a review with many studies (ie many hundreds)

Problem could be related to an insufficient memory allocated for the RevMan.

Follow the link below where you can find the instructions on how to increase the memory, see section E:

Case occurred because there was downtime with Archie.

Check with Javier via Slack whether downtime occurred, and if so, send a similar response to the one below (i.e. we know this occurred during/near downtime, can you check and see if it's fixed?).

Super Users may also be able to reset passwords for users in their Primary Group. When a password is reset manually, the user should be given a temporary password and asked to change it to a personal one as soon as they log in.
Note: It is not possible for a Super User to edit the username or password of a user that has any permission the Super User does not (i.e. in another group).

We've got 2 generic protocols that will form the basis for 20+ reviews.

Each review will have the same protocol (with a small difference in that each will have a paragraph added to the protocol section at the review stage to indicate the specific feature of that particular review). The protocol needs to be linked to the reviews for Wiley to list it under Other Versions... on the Library.

Publish the generic protocol

After publication use the Split and Merge Wizard and follow this through

(a) split a review into multiple reviews

(b) select the BRANCHED split

(c) select the Published Protocol

(d) create as many copies of the generic protocol you need

Complete the wizard

I treat it as an update

Agree with the old team that a new team is taking over and discuss and agree authorship (some original team members may remain if they want to be involved or may be moved to acknowledgements or may stay on the by line for the first update).

Make it clear to the new team that the review needs a complete overhaul, new risk of bias, updated Background / methods etc. etc The new review is published as an update and included in the "differences between protocol and review" is a short summary of the major changes.

The What's new also will include a brief explanation - new review team, updated background, methods, etc.

Our review is due for an update but the authors want to change the scope and methods substantially (broader intervention, broader inclusion criteria for participants, additional outcomes, updated methods). In this case, do we:

a. Just update, highlighting any changes under 'differences between protocol and review'

b. Publish an amended protocol

c. Publish a new protocol referring to the 'old' superseded review

If such substantive changes are planned to be made for this review, you might want to consider:

Use the Updating Classification System to classify the review as 'No longer planned', using the rational 'review superseded'.

The EPPR has a section dealing with unpublished versions:

PubMed submissions will take 12 months from the date of publication, of a green OA review. The citation will be registered in NLM on the day of publication, once NLM accept the NLM auto-deposition process. This will backdate to September, so all content published since then will be supplied to PubMed.

Procedure before responding:

If this error occurs, find the review's record in Archie. On the General tab of the review record, check the 'Write phase' field. If it says "Editorial" then the review is in the Editorial process and cannot be accessed by the author.

Response:

"I'm sorry to advise that it's not possible to download a copy of your review while it's in the editorial phase. If you need a copy of the current version of the review urgently, and don't have one saved locally, please contact your editor at your Cochrane Review Group."
