What Is Refereeing?
Refereeing is a critical part of the process to ensure the quality of Cochrane protocols and reviews (a protocol is the first, developmental stage of a Cochrane review). The idea of refereeing is that the draft manuscript of a protocol or review is given to some experts to critique it and suggest ways it could be improved. The editors and reviewers take these comments into account in developing the final draft that will actually be published on The Cochrane Library. The Reviewers receive a complete copy of referees comments.
