MD Conference Express is the first publication to subject conference news to the rigorous test of peer-review. The practice-changing articles in these reports are written only from primary sources, and our content planning is done completely independently of any commercial influence. Our peer-reviewed highlights reports are published only after careful testing for accuracy, fair-balance, and clinical impact by an authoritative group of world experts. MD Conference Express’ unique approach to conference highlights reporting has earned the trust and collaboration of some of the world’s most important medical societies – including the American Heart Association, the European Society of Cardiology, the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk, and the American Diabetes Association among others. MD Conference Express consistently delivers evidence-based reporting with peer-reviewed integrity.
Our 5-Step Peer-Review Process
- Our international medical advisory board guides the selection of the topics at the meeting that are most likely to have an immediate impact on clinical practice. Where we have the honor to be an official partner with the host society, the scientific planning committee participates in that process.
- Articles in MD Conference Express are written only from primary source material. We don’t allow opinion or spin to influence our factual reporting. If something can’t be backed up by a primary source reference, we don’t include it.
- The faculty who presented the original research are invited to review the resulting articles. Careful dialogue post congress leads to a refined and more accurate set of data in the articles in MD Conference Express.
- Independent peer-review by our own medical advisory board ensures fair balance and impartiality of the presented data. This careful, independent review takes the report out of the realm of “news” and firmly into the academic standard of peer-review – an important difference for physicians seeking reliable, top-quality information.
- Once the material has passed both faculty critique and rigorous peer-review, the material is carefully proofed one final time before an issue of MD Conference Express is released.
