AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Aim: This scoping review examined development strategies for preparing reviewers to critically appraise the content of manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals.

Background: The journal peer review process is the crux of building the science of nursing education to inform teaching and learning.

Method: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute procedure for scoping reviews, five databases were searched for articles published in English in peer-reviewed health sciences journals between 2012 and 2022 that included strategies for developing journal peer reviewers.

Results: Of the 44 articles included in the review, a majority were commentaries (52%) published by medicine (61%), followed by nursing (9%) and multidisciplinary journals (9%). Reviewer development strategies aligned with three themes: pedagogical approaches, resources, and personal practices.

Conclusion: Although multiple disciplines addressed peer reviewer development, a comprehensive and effective approach was not reported in the reviewed literature. The findings can inform a multilevel reviewer development program led by academic nurse educators.

Background: Although existing disease preparedness and response frameworks provide guidance about strengthening emergency response capacity, little attention is paid to health service continuity during emergency responses. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, there were 11,325 reported deaths due to the Ebola virus and yet disruption in access to care caused more than 10,000 additional deaths due to measles, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Low- and middle-income countries account for the largest disease burden due to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and yet previous responses to health emergencies showed that HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria service delivery can be significantly disrupted.

These circumstances may lead to disputes that are subject to litigation or medicolegal determinations by state agencies. As musculoskeletal experts, orthopaedic surgeons are frequently asked to opine on the causation and extent of injury in these patients.

Background: Access to accurate medical diagnosis has been hindered by socioeconomic disparities, limited availability of specialized medical professionals, and lack of patient education, among other factors. Inequities in access to high-quality healthcare services exacerbate these challenges, often leading to disparities in health outcomes. Missed or inaccurate diagnoses can lead to delayed or unnecessary treatments, risking worsening of the condition.
