VolunteeringCan you help us with occasional translationWhen our authors are working on their systematic reviews they frequently identify trials published inlanguages other than English or an other language they speak. As the range of international databases wesearch on behalf of authors has expanded over the years, the number of non­English language papersencountered has steadily increased. These papers need to be assessed for eligibility for potential inclusion inour reviews and, if they meet the necessary criteria, have data and other information extracted. For this weneed a pool of volunteers with a wide range of languages that we can call on from time to time.

We are enormously grateful to the Cochrane authors who already regularly help us out with occasionaltranslation; from a basic quick check for eligibility to full data extraction. We always need more translators,however. If you have a language and would be able to offer occasional help please get in touch with JennyBellorini, Managing Editor ([email protected]).
