4.7.2  Other references

References other than those to studies are divided among the following two categories. Note that RevMan also includes a ‘Classification pending’ category to facilitate organization of references while preparing a review. All references should be moved out of this category before a review is marked for submission to the CDSR, since any references remaining in this category will not be published.

 

Additional references

Other references cited in the text should be listed here, including those cited in the Background and Methods sections. If a report of a study is cited in the text for some reason other than referring to the study (for example, because of some background or methodological information in the reference), it should be listed here as well as under the relevant study.

 

Other published versions of this review

References to other published versions of the review in a journal, textbook or the CDSR or elsewhere should be listed here. As a general rule, only new citation versions of publications in the CDSR should be listed (i.e. those that yield a new MEDLINE record).

 

Authors should check all references for accuracy.
