The Steering Group of the Cochrane Collaboration convened the DTA editorial team in 2008. It comprises experts in all methodological aspects of preparing systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy. The role of the DTA editorial Team is to manage the quality of DTA reviews in The Cochrane Library through the peer review of these reviews. It will provide peer review comments of the methodology for all protocols and full text systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy. All Cochrane diagnostic test accuracy reviews, and protocols for reviews, will need to be approved for sign off by the DTA Editorial Team before they can be published on the Cochrane Library. The sign off for publication will also require the Cochrane review group to approve the protocol or review for publication. This is a ‘dual’ sign off procedure.
