COMET has successfully brought together the international COS literature in an online database. The annual completion of a systematic review of COS for research ensures that the COMET database is kept up-to date. We continually update the database as we identify eligible studies throughout the year. The fifth update to the systematic review of COS for research brings the overall total of published COS to 337, relating to 410 COS.
