A programme of journal handsearching is in operation and this is co-ordinated from the editorial base by the Group's Trials Search Co-ordinator. The journals currently being handsearched for all reports of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) and associated material by the Group's team of handsearchers are listed below.
The Cochrane Oral Health Group welcomes volunteers to undertake handsearching and those willing to undertake this should contact the Group's Trials Search Co-ordinator.
Journals being handsearched are registered on the Masters List of Journals Being Handsearched, co-ordinated by the United States Cochrane Center.
