Call for Papers: Family Practice Themed issue on Systematic Review
Family Practice invites submissions for a theme issue focused on systematic reviews related to important primary care topics. The objective of the themed issue is to summarize research that can advance the evidence-base of primary care. Articles discussing systematic review methodology will also be considered.
Authors should follow the guidelines by the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses” (PRISMA) statement. Be sure to report funding sources for each study, and if reviewing drug or other commercial product interventions, also include author-industry financial ties, and author-industry employment.
Systematic review articles* will be rigorously evaluated using standard criteria:
Appropriate healthcare question
Literature searching strategy
Inclusion criteria
Quality assessment (Level of evidence)
Synthesis of findings
Interpretation of findings
The deadline for submissions for consideration for the themed issue is August 1, 2012
