BACKGROUND Implementation of health research findings is important for medicine to be evidence-based. Previous studies have found variation in the information sources thought to be of greatest importance to clinicians but publication in peer-reviewed journals is the traditional route for dissemination of research findings. There is debate about whether the impact made on clinicians should be co...

objective: To describe and discuss the process used to write a case report for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. methods: Narrative review of the literature. discussion: The importance for case reports is presented as well as the explanation of how to write them in a standardized format. Steps in preparing a case report are described and discussed starting with selecting a title and concl...

Objectives. Titles of journal articles should effectively convey to readers, editors, and reviewers basic topics of the articles and, within topics, specific aspects. To increase our understanding of the current practices of authors and editors in the use of titles, we analyzed article titles from a sample of general medical journals and queried editors in the United States and England. Design ...

Ever since theWomen’s Dermatologic Society (WDS) Board of Directors voted in March of 2014 to establish a peer-reviewed journal, our leadership has realized how the advent of predatory publishing has affected the establishment of a legitimate medical publication. For example, in 2014, there were already approximately 40 different dermatologic journals but nonewith a specific focus onwomen’s ski...

Sparsity-based methods have recently been suggested for tasks such as face and iris recognition. In this project, we evaluated the effectiveness of such methods for automatic target recognition in infrared images. We show how sparsity can be helpful for efficient utilization of data for target recognition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of recognition rate and...

Warfighters have benefited significantly from the enormous advances in digital technology over the past several decades. In contrast, too little of the considerable progress in neuroscience has been applied to improving warfighter performance. We believe this reflects the absence of digital technology that can help bridge the gap between neuroscience and digital systems. We believe this gap mig...

Report developed under topic #A10AT015, contract W911NF-10-C-0073. Our goal is to provide the technology base for realizing monolithic emitters and optical amplifiers active at 1.5 micron on Si substrates that are compatible with standard processes of the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Our approach is to exploit epitaxial growth of III-nitride semiconductors on Si su...

OBJECTIVES Assess the degree to which research project findings were published and explore factors that influenced publication. METHODS Questionnaire to project leaders. Classification of publications and findings. Chi-squared; univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Forty percent of projects published in peer-reviewed journal; highly statistically significant relations...
