RevMan 5 for non-Cochrane reviews
RevMan 5 is the desktop version of the software used for creation of non-Cochrane reviews. However it is unsupported and will be withdrawn at a future date to be confirmed.
If you are not working on a Cochrane Review, you should run RevMan 5 in non-Cochrane mode for best performance.
We can only offer RevMan 5 support to registered Cochrane authors. However, there are online resources available to help you learn to use RevMan 5 and to trouble-shoot common problems.
The RevMan 5 user guide contains comprehensive guidance on all RevMan functions.
Our support FAQs provide solutions to common problems with installation and other issues.
