Methodology
An outcome from the original CAM Cancer project was the development of a strict methodology for producing and reviewing the high quality summaries found today on this website.
The CAM Cancer summary manual provides detailed information about the methodology used for writing and reviewing summaries and describes the editorial process employed by CAM-Cancer; as well as advise to others on how to synthesize and summarise the best available evidence for a specific CAM intervention, along with recommendations on the whole production and editorial process. Methodology for peer reviewing the quality of CAM summary is included.
