2.1 The purpose of Specialised Registers

The purpose of Specialised Registers is to:

  • assemble a repository of reports of trials relating to the scope of a Review Group or Field
  • provide a reliable pool of reports of trials for review authors which is easily retrievable
  • share the content of individual registers with users of the Cochrane Library worldwide (via CENTRAL)
