"Interpretation of isolated studies rarely proves helpful. To arrive at an informed decision requires all the evidence; the approach could facilitate more balanced media reporting and aid public understanding" @carlheneghan @CebmOxford @BMJ_EBM https://t.co/ja8NorNDyS

[Understanding Health Research @UHRwebsite]

So the results are in (from an admittedly small sample size) and peer reviewing as an ECR can be nerve wracking! If you're new to peer review and want support, head to https://t.co/vQQ4lb7KCI with the paper you want to review and we will help walk you through it #PeerRevWk19

PhD students and ECRs of twitter - how confident did you feel about peer reviewing your first journal article? #PeerRevWk19

[Sense about Science @senseaboutsci]

For #PeerRevWk19 we've formed a #ResearchToDoList through a series of blogposts from experts answering the question: How can we improve #QualityInPeerReview and research? These blog posts are just the start, we need your ideas too! https://t.co/SodUHXlHci

Critically appraising health evidence isn’t just for scientists or researchers. UHR can be used to support most people interested in research including patients, students, practitioners, policymakers, third sector workers and health advocates https://t.co/gZckK55g9A #PeerRevWk19
