We have only limited resources. However, we do the best we can in helping authors out where we can and providing advise and support with your Cochrane review. The support we can give may change over time as our circumstances change. We ensure that our limited resources are used to the maximum benefit of the users and funders. Decisions in relation to prioritization of reviews are inevitable.

We:

• make explicit to potential review teams the level and type of support we can provide at that moment;
• provide potential review teams with up-to-date details of the editorial process and timelines for new proposals submitted for editorial consideration, including information concerning prioritization of topics;
• respond to correspondence from their review teams in a timely manner;
• put potential review teams in touch with their reference Cochrane Centre if required.
