WWC Study Review Guides

As part of an ongoing effort to increase transparency, promote collaboration, and encourage widespread use of the WWC standards, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is currently establishing procedures that will:

Provide external users with access to a WWC Blank Study Review Guide (SRG) Template. Additional information may be found in Table 1 below.
Provide eligible users with WWC-Completed Study Review Guides (SRGs). These are guides that have been completed by WWC certified reviewers as part of the process used to assess the quality of the research studies according to WWC evidence standards. These guides also include details about research studies that the WWC uses when developing WWC reports. Procedures for sharing completed SRGs are currently in development.
Establish agreements with external users of WWC SRG Templates who are interested and willing to contribute their externally completed study review guides to the WWC for possible inclusion in the WWC Studies Database. Procedures for accepting external content are currently in development.
