STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that the Editors of Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice (JEBDP) will begin offering continuing education units (CEUs) to its recognised experts and valued peer reviewers. JEBDP is a leading publication of information about evidence-based dental practice.
With this new policy, JEBDP becomes one of the first US dental journals, and the first publication in the burgeoning area of evidence-based dentistry, to award CEUs to reviewers. Under the new programme, reviewers will be entitled to claim up to 15 CEUs per year for their work in evaluating and developing content for JEBDP. Credits will be awarded by the Continuing Dental Education Program at the UCLA School of Dentistry.
Awarding CEUs is especially appropriate in light of the journal's unique Article Analysis and Evaluations (AAEs). The AAEs are 'mini' articles in which the reviewer actually creates authoritative analysis on topics of clinical importance, providing concise, structured summaries of new articles of interest. Reviews are accompanied by ratings of levels of evidence, commentaries, and recommendations, with an emphasis on objectivity. The AAEs are indexed in Medline by the name of the author/reviewer.
Billed as ‘The Clinical Connection to Evidence and Innovation,’ JEBDP is designed to close the gap between the best research evidence and translate it to benefit the practice of dentistry. Each quarterly issue also offers Feature Articles and Clinical Opinion pieces on key issues affecting dental practice and oral health, highlighting and evaluating the current clinical research.
