NEJM Group has announced the launch of a new digital journal, NEJM Evidence, coming at a time when research transparency is being openly discussed in the medical community. The new journal publishes high-quality studies from the frontlines of medical research that challenge readers to develop a deeper understanding of the statistical methods used in clinical trials. The January issue of NEJM Evidence is freely accessible for a limited time.
NEJM Evidence, from the publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine, brings new ideas to clinical practice and gives readers an insider's view on how clinical trials are designed, how evidence is generated, and the subsequent implications for diagnostic or treatment decisions to yield more powerful clinical evidence.
Designed to engage a younger audience in conversations around medical research, the new journal includes two new series — Stats, STAT!, which explains statistical concepts through brief animated videos; and Tomorrow's Trial, short pieces that highlight accepted practices lacking solid evidence and invite clinician readers to propose clinical trials to fill those gaps. The Patient Platform allows patients who have been in a clinical trial or part of a research study to share thoughts on their experience.
Vetted by editors who are active clinicians, this new journal publishes research from early-stage discoveries to confirmatory trials in all medical specialties. Through case studies, reviews and journal club formats, NEJM Evidence gives readers the opportunity to evaluate trials for themselves, sparking insights around areas of medicine where clinical decisions are often made without sufficient evidence.
