About
Aims and scope
Evidence-Based Medicine:
- Publishes original evidence based research, insights and opinions on what matters for health care
- Focuses on the tools, methods, and concepts that are basic and central to practising evidence-based medicine.
How we deliver relevant, trustworthy and impactful evidence:
- By Disseminating relevant research: saving you time and improving your practice – Evidence-Based Medicine systematically searches international medical journals and applies strict criteria to identify relevant research. Content is critically appraised, leading to a succinct commentary focusing on the paper’s key findings and implications for clinical practice.
- By Providing debate, analysis, and opinion on trusted evidence that matters for better healthcare – Evidence-Based Medicine debates the uncertainties and controversies in evidence and the research methods that educate and inform practice.
- By Publishing original research that affects practice – Evidence-Based Medicine publishes the latest research that enhances the practice and understanding of evidence-based healthcare.
