I am the first author of a group responsible for updating a Cochrane systematic review that needs the cooperation of a Chinese co-author. We are looking for a partner for data extraction and evaluation of some clinical studies and we are not able to partner a few months ago. Do you know someone who can help us?
If you have a look on the Cochrane database and look for systematic reviews that have emanated out of China, this will give you the names and contact details. Have a look at the ones that have been cited many times as a starting point
You may contact Cochrane Singapore Chapter here:

Dear Rachel Kornhaber, Anirban Banerjee, and Farhad Shokraneh:
Thanks for your contact and indications. I sent request for help in The Singapore Branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre and asked for a budget for the Review Soluction staff. I will pay attention to the base of authors of Cochrane. I'm having the support of the Neuromuscular Disease Group to find collaborators linked to Cochrane, but it is not easy to find them.
Unfortunately we do not have funding to pay for costs of translation or hire services, so we are look for volunteers who want to actively participate in the study as co-authors.
I emphasize that were are searching for help for two Cochrane reviews of high impact.
Thank you for your attention and tips
If you are working with Cochrane, they provide good solutions and assistance with non-English papers.Also you may try Archie.
1. Log into the Archie
2. Go to Search tab
3. Select Advance tab and People
4. From first drop-down menu, select Group Role Assigned
5. From second drop-down menu, select Translator
6. You may or may not select the Cochrane Group and run the search
7. The other way is selecting Role Specification from first menu and search for Chinese
Almost all the people in the search results are volunteer translator but only some are active and maybe some like to do volunteer work.
If you ask the editorial base of the group, they might be able to link you to an active Chinese researcher.
Good Luck
Dr. Farhad Shokraneh:
Your tips were great. I tried contact with some people from China and I hope that they can help me.
Thank you
Lazaro, please send me an e-mail ([email protected]). I might be able to help.
Thank you Prof. João Amadera:
Finally we found two collaborators that will help us. Thanks for the contributions that permitted us correct contacts and decisions before of 24 hours of the publications of this asks.
Best wishes, Lázaro
