Legacy training videos
There is a suite of legacy online tutorials for CARS available on YouTube. The system has been considerably updated since these videos were made, and current features may differ from that shown in them.
Videos are provided in 3 playlists: CARS for Authors, CARS for Peer Reviewers, and CARS for TPB Reviewers (now ‘consultees’). The tutorials cover key functionality including:
- adding users to CARS
- creating and editing documents
- using tables and figures
- using references
- creating the background commentary for a document
- performing reviews within CARS
- using the version functionality
