YORK ADD TEXT BLOCKS TO PROJECT PAGE REGISTRATION
We routinely monitor the time frame given in submissions and seek clarification where this appears overly ambitious prior to confirming registration and providing a PROSPERO registration number. PROSPERO relies on the integrity of researchers for the accuracy of the data supplied, and the named contacts are accountable for the content of their records. You should therefore have the necessary resource in place to complete the review before you register your protocol (notification of award of research funding or firm commitment that author time is available for unfunded projects). Registering reviews that are never performed is unhelpful to the research community and may discredit the research team. Your systematic review protocol should be complete before you submit your registration request.
Integrity of data and prospective registration When to register your reviewĭo not register too early.

Feel free to use the system in your learning and to help you develop a full protocol, but do not press the button. Students: We do not (have the resources to) register reviews done as part of training courses, modules or other 'mini' reviews. For other reviews please allow at least 34 days from submission before enquiring about progress. If your enquiry is related to a review on COVID-19 registration please add #COVID-19 to your subject line.
As answering these takes time away from processing records, please only email should if it is absolutely necessary. We are receiving a large volume of emails enquiring about progress. Please check your account after 30 days to confirm registration.įor records that are within 30 days of submission, registrations from the UK will continue to be prioritised because PROSPERO is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Submissions which do not pass the basic automated check will be automatically rejected.ĭue to technical issues, you will not receive an email notification if your record is automatically published. Records will be published exactly as submitted therefore extra care should be taken to ensure that submitted information is accurate. The PROSPERO team will not check these submissions this will be stated clearly on the published record. To allow the PROSPERO team to focus on COVID-19 and to avoid further delay, during the pandemic all submissions that have been waiting for registration for more than 30 days and which pass a basic automated check will be published automatically.
