Journal editors propose new standards to strengthen pharmacy practice research
In short: A group of journal editors specializing in clinical and social pharmacy met in Granada, Spain, to discuss how academic publishing can better support the discipline. They developed the Granada Statements, a set of 18 recommendations aimed at enhancing the quality of published research and the impact of pharmacy practice on healthcare systems.
The recommendations cover six key areas, including the use of appropriate terminology, improving abstract impact, and refining peer review processes. The group also addressed issues like journal scattering and the strategic use of publication metrics.
These statements serve as a framework for editors to promote the discipline, though the work represents a consensus of recommendations rather than an empirical study with experimental results.
Why it matters: New publishing guidelines aim to standardize pharmacy research and improve its impact on patient care.
