STM and scholarly publisher Wiley-Blackwell, US, has announced that The Cochrane Collaboration will be renewing its license with India. Representatives of Wiley-Blackwell and the Indian Council of Medical Research will meet on January 27, 2010, to formalise the modalities of this arrangement.
This national license will enable about 60 million internet users gain access to The Cochrane Library’s internationally renowned collection of healthcare databases. This includes gold-standard Cochrane Systematic Reviews, which help clinicians and consumers make decisions about what treatments are best for their patients.
The Cochrane Library contains healthcare information, including Systematic Reviews from The Cochrane Collaboration. These Reviews bring together research on the effects of healthcare and are considered the gold standard for determining the relative effectiveness of different interventions.
The Cochrane Collaboration is a UK registered international charity and claims to be the world's leading producer of systematic Reviews. It has been demonstrated that Cochrane Systematic Reviews are of comparable or better quality and are updated more often than the Reviews published in print journals.
