Dear Expert Searchers,

In my role as Associate Editor for the journal BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine I am looking to commission an article on "Point-of-care tools - how evidence-based are they?" (working title).
Vendors of these tools claim that their editorial processes ensure the information presented is evidence-based. Since the tools are widely used in many clinics around the world, our editorial team is looking for an overview article which introduces the main tools, summarises articles that might have looked at this question, and discusses on which basis these tools can be considered evidence-based and whether clinicians and healthcare practitioners can be advised to rely on these tools and in which cases a further dive into the original literature is advisable. The main tools, in our opinion, are UpToDate, Dynamed and BMJ Best Practice.

The article is aimed for the "Analysis" section, which is an article type that balances journalistic style with scientific information and can have up to 2,000 words (for more details on the article type, please see below my signature).



I am looking forward to receiving informal expressions of interest (not to the list, but to me personally) and will prioritise based on content expertise should I receive several expressions of interest.

Best wishes,

Maria-Inti Metzendorf

>From the BMJ EBM Author guidelines (https://ebm.bmj.com/pages/authors/):
"Analysis articles debate and discuss topical issues which address clinical practice, research and policy. We are looking for pieces taking a critical approach to assessing evidence (not cherry-picked) and use empirical data to analyse its impact on individuals or populations, providing a worthwhile conclusion. It has academic heft yet is a journalistic read. 'Academic heft' means the argument is evidence-based and supported by data. 'Journalistic read' means the article is engaging (not dry nor dull; written in clear language and avoiding technical jargon; and pitched to our international audience of doctors of all specialities, academics, patients and consumers, and policymakers). These articles do not include primary data nor evidence synthesis."
