Cochrane Library (1 year)

The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that provide independent, high quality evidence to support health care decision making. You can access the content of all major databases using any of the Cochrane Library search options.

These include:

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR)
The Cochrane organization began in the United Kingdom in the 1990s and is now a global network of researchers. Cochrane Reviews are one of the most respected sources of evidence in health care.
This part of the Cochrane Library contains systematic reviews conducted by Cochrane Review Groups, each focusing on a specific health topic. The reviews are performed following explicit systematic methods, described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. You can access the full text of all completed Cochrane Reviews and also consult the protocols of reviews currently in progress.

Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
CENTRAL is a database of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials. The records come from a variety of published and unpublished sources, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform.
CENTRAL does not include the full text of the essays, but provides information on how to access them in the full text links section of this guide.

Cochrane Clinical Answers
They are brief answers to clinical questions designed to support decision making at the point of care, based on evidence summarized from relevant Cochrane Reviews. They include narratives, data, and links to graphics.

Other contents
The Cochrane Library also includes Special Collections, which bring together research on specific health topics, and editorials. In addition, it contains content from the Epistemonikos health evidence base, available in the basic and advanced search interfaces, as well as evidence on health systems and social systems from the McMaster Health Forum, available only in the basic search.
