How to review a paper on medical education

Abstract

There has been a substantial increase in the number of medical and health professional education manuscripts being submitted to an increasing number of journals in this field. More reviews and more reviewers are needed to facilitate discussion of both relevance and quality of those manuscripts. MedEdPublish relies on readers and Review Panel members to contribute to this process, thereby helping to maintain standards in medical and health professional education publishing. This article provides guidance that is most relevant to reviewers and potential authors for MedEdPublish, but may be relevant to publishing in other medical and health professional journals.
