**Exciting opportunity for anyone with systematic review experience**
We are looking for people with systematic review experience to take part in evaluation of an exciting new web-based application to improve the process of data extraction.
The trial should take no more than 3 hours and can be done in a flexible timeframe - you don't have to do it all in one sitting - and the purpose of it is to assess if this platform can be incorporated into other time-saving, systematic review-improving platforms, such as CAMARADES-NC3Rs SyRF (syrf.org.uk)

Opportunity to join our exciting Nature Research Project
Nature Publishing Group introduced a change in their editorial policy which required authors in the life sciences to complete a checklist with their submissions, indicating whether or not they had taken certain measures which might reduce the risk of bias and if they report key experimental and analytical details. NPQIP is a study that assesses any impact of this change.
By reviewing scientific papers as part of this project you will have the opportunity to be named as a collaborator on a high-impact publication, contribute to improving in vivo and in vitro research and earn various prizes, including an iPad (upon completion of 80 reviews).
