As Cochrane abstracts are often the only part of a Cochrane review that people read, it is important they can be read as stand alone documents.

In this web clinic, Lindsay Robertson will cover the general principles of writing an abstract that is clear, easy to understand, and translate. The specific requirements of the new focused review format and the PRISMA checklist will also be covered.

The session is of interest to authors and editors.
