Study investigates progress in increasing value in biomedical research
octobre 14, 2015
Biomedical research is essential for improving health, but evidence suggests that we are not deriving maximum benefit from the research that’s being done. This can be because of poor research questions, poor study design and poor (or no) reporting of results.
Last year, Dr.
David Moher
played a key role in a
ground-breaking series on the topic
, published in top medical journal The Lancet. The series and an accompanying symposium resulted in 17 concrete recommendations for enhancing health research, spanning everything from mandating systematic reviews before undertaking new research to increasing access to raw data.
Now, Dr. Moher has led a follow up study in The Lancet which catalogues
progress being made in implementing the recommendations
. One example of progress at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is the creation of a
Centre for Journalology
to help researchers publish their results in a way that maximizes impact.
