I've been reviewing papers for Q1 and high-impact journals for years.
And lately, I increasingly feel that something is going wrong with scientific publishing.
A few uncomfortable thoughts from inside the system. 🧵

A systematic review takes one to two years. Very little of that time goes to thinking. It goes to moving citations between disconnected tools.
We built CoreSR to strip that out and return the reviewer's time to judgment.

In case you missed it, this is our Clinical Commentary recently published in @JOSPT Methods, in which we propose methodological strategies for incorporating patient preferences in MSK RCTs. Interested in comments from MSK researchers. jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptm…
▶️NEW PUBLICATION◀️
RCTs, often overlook patient preferences despite their impact on clinical outcomes. In our new @JOSPT Methods Commentary, we review key methodological adaptations to better integrate these factors into trials.

Just published #BMJ paper: strong against all interventional procedures for spine pain (joint radio frequency ablation; epidural injections; intramuscular injections, etc.) useless & harmful but lucrative. How to stop clear: stop paying. But can it happen? bmj.com/content/388/bmj-2024…
