Descripción:

This pre-congress workshop brings together three internationally recognized organizations—Cochrane, the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS), and The Nutrition Society—to provide practical guidance across the research continuum, from generating and synthesizing high-quality evidence to publishing research in leading scientific journals. The workshop comprises three complementary one-hour sessions.

Part 1. Cochrane Methods for Evidence Synthesis. Delivered by researchers from Cornell University and Universidad de Valparaíso, this session introduces the methodology of Cochrane systematic reviews, the key steps in evidence synthesis, and the tools that support each stage of the review process. Participants will also explore methodological considerations specific to nutrition research and the role of systematic reviews in informing clinical practice and public health policy.

Part 2. CONSORT-Nut: Reporting Randomized Controlled Trials in Nutrition. Delivered by experts involved in the CONSORT-Nut initiative and IUNS, this session presents the CONSORT-Nut reporting guidelines and addresses methodological challenges specific to nutrition intervention research. Participants will learn how transparent reporting enhances research quality, reproducibility, evidence synthesis, and evidence-informed decision-making.

Part 3. Scientific Writing for Publication. Delivered by experts from The Nutrition Society, this session provides practical guidance on preparing manuscripts for publication in high-quality journals. Participants will learn how to select an appropriate journal, prepare a manuscript for submission, navigate peer review, and respond effectively to reviewers’ and editors’ comments.

Resultados de aprendizaje esperados:

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• • Describe the key steps involved in conducting a Cochrane systematic review, identify the tools that support each stage of the review process, and recognize the role of evidence synthesis in informing nutrition and public health policy.
  • Apply the CONSORT-Nut reporting guidelines to improve the design, reporting, and critical appraisal of randomized controlled trials in nutrition, recognizing the importance of transparent reporting for research quality, reproducibility, evidence synthesis, and evidence-informed decision-making.
  • Prepare a manuscript for submission to a high-quality scientific journal, select an appropriate target journal, and respond effectively to editorial decisions and peer-review feedback.
