RevMan

You can use RevMan for protocols and full reviews. It is most useful when you have formulated the question for the review, and allows you to prepare the text, build the tables showing the characteristics of studies and the comparisons in the review, and add study data. It can perform meta-analyses and present the results graphically.

Together with Archie, RevMan forms the Cochrane Information Management System (IMS), which is designed to enable contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration 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.

RevMan continues to be developed through an ongoing process of consultation with its users and if you have any suggestions for improvements, please let us know.

RevMan 5 was released on 14 March 2008 (updated to 5.0.23 on 8 December 2009).
