Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are often time-intensive, and often unnecessary. Under the right circumstances, targeted literature reviews (TLRs) are a valid alternative. Our recent article highlights how TLRs can: - Provide timely insights at a fraction of the cost - Maintain structured methodologies similar to SLRs - Offer flexibility for broader, exploratory research questions - Can indicate whether a full SLR is necessary (or not) Explore our article (https://lnkd.in/eqHPGQr4) to learn more about the strategic use of TLRs and the role they can play in your research efforts. #Research #LiteratureReview #SystematicReview #TargetedReview #Healthcare #CostelloMedical

Because representation matters...
What role do patients have in the publishing of articles about their conditions? Is it the place for lay people to comment on scientific studies? Listen up, because from the highly respected British Medical Journal comes a resounding "yes". "The BMJ has instigated patient and public review as part of its drive to co-produce its content with patients and the public and strong commitment to increasing the relevance and patient centredness of its research, education, and scholarly comment articles." I have just submitted my 4th patient review. You too can apply to do this as a patient, carer, or a member of the public! Find out all about it from the BMJ: https://lnkd.in/ejTYDmxg and from The Scholarly Kitchen https://lnkd.in/eTg7HKGw Tessa Richards, thank you for pointing me in this direction, several years ago. #PatientEngagement #BMJ #ScienceForAll #ResearchInclusion #HealthcareInnovation #PublicReview #MedicalResearch #PatientExpertise

I got an issue with the 'lay having a place'- I mean, if you pretend to do medical research and your work makes no difference to patients- you are simply in the wrong job- so this 👇 👇 👇 is worth checking out. And before now anyone comes lecturing me on how complicated this Science is that those poor, uneducated patients don't understand it 🙄 . We buy cars without knowing how to build a car. File tax returns without understanding neither accounting nor tax laws. We even buy bread without knowing how to work sourdough (and missing that we buy highly processed industry produce while lecturing patients about healthy diet, but hey, different topic). Point being- if you buy a car, file your tax return or buy your bread- you don't want to be treated like an idiot but rather expect the other side to have a lay-accessible, respectful form of communication ready that gives you the essentials you need to know in an actionable format while ideally making you feel in charge. Quick reminder- an awful lot of research is financed by taxpayers and private donations, so way to go in Science Communication me thinks?

Editor in Chief: Critical Public Health @ Taylor & Francis Group | Editor in Chief
New impact metrics for the Journal, Critical Public Health. The 2023 Journal Impact Factor is 3.1 Clarivate provides a single, unified category ranking in a subject regardless of which edition the journal is in (e.g., SCIE, SSCI, ESCI). This combined category ranking provides a simpler and more complete category view for evaluating journal performance. As of 2023, Clarivate displays Impact Factors to 1 decimal place rather than 3. This means more than one journal can be listed in the same position in citation category rankings. The 2023 CiteScore (Scopus) data are as follows: 5.9 (2023) CiteScore (Scopus) Q1 (2023) CiteScore Best Quartile 1.224 (2023) SNIP 0.942 (2023) SJR The 2023 Journal Impact Factor is 3.1 (Journal Citation Reports® Clarivate Analytics, 2024). Critical Public Health Comparative Rankings: 9/46 SOCIAL SCIENCES, BIOMEDICAL, 111/403 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL& OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH The impact data on the journal metrics pages on www.tandfonline.com will be updated shortly to reflect the latest results. Taylor & Francis is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which aims to promote a more balanced and holistic understanding of journal performance by incorporating quantitative and qualitative reviews. #CriticalPublicHealth Brogan Sewell (McArthur) Darcy H.

Some great news for #peerreviewers (and #journals) handling medical articles ... 🔻🔻🙏 👉 New Accord checklist published - https://lnkd.in/ezekjjZy 👉 How to interpret checklist items - https://lnkd.in/dGBakGgG 👉 Editable word version https://lnkd.in/dpdYRjRM Here's a thought: Surely, all subject areas, journals and #peerreview should standardize ... make things easier for #reviewers and for #reports to be passed between #journals .... (far from a new idea ... Jigisha Patel 🙏) What's it all about? ACCORD offers a best practice framework to improve the reporting of research involving consensus methodologies. It helps researchers to report the key information needed to allow readers (= peer reviewers and editors) to understand the methods used, to interpret the results critically and to apply them appropriately.

#RecommendedPaper One key element to design and deliver meaningful patient and public involvement (#PPI) in the one related to the language that we use. Health literacy can be a barrier when we consider that patients can understand and communicate with the same way that professionals with scientific background. PPI experts and facilitators should have the responsability to design PPI activities not only based in the right methodology according to the age of the patients and the expected outcomes (e.g. suitability of a clinical trial design, co-creation of educational materials, etc.), but also in regards to the suitable language of patients. In this paper, my colleague Jenny Preston, with Sally-Anne Dews, Rachel Daley, Akhil Bansal and Natalie Bohm, have analyzed peer-reviewed and gray literature on how language is used in communication between healthcare researchers and patients. Still we have a lot to learn, to ensure that PPI activities are meaningful and based in a social scientific approach. Thanks for this great work! #AlwaysReading, #AlwaysLearning Access to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dqZx2i3d #PatientEngagement #PatientInvolvmenet #ClinicalResearch #ClinicalTrials #ChildrenRights #PatientRights
