A call for peer-reviewed lectures in Academic EM journal

Posted Apr 21 2011 12:00am


In an interesting announcement this week, Academic Emergency Medicine announced that it will be publishing Peer-Reviewed Lectures (PeRL) in video format. The journal has had success with its Dynamic Emergency Medicine video section, and it appears that it is now looking to branch out. The PeRL videos will really shatter the old-school model of journals traditionally focusing on original hypothesis-driven research. This is the first that I've heard of a journal thinking "outside the box" and publishing peer-reviewed lectures in addition to traditional research.

Having personally created videos for teaching in the past, I can only imagine how great and utterly challenging this project will be. It will be interesting to see how they handle making the content AND video editing high quality and consistent in tone and formatting. It's the little things like professionally lighting the speaker and getting a good quality microphone which screens out ambient noise that'll make good video lectures great.

According to the SAEM  Facebook page announcement "Prospective authors should consider contacting the PeRLs editorial board (through John Burton , MD, Senior Associate Editor) for a discussion before starting on video production of a lecture for a determination of topic suitability. Videos can be complex to produce, and given the effort involved, having a discussion with an editor either by e-mail or phone before producing it, is recommended."
