METHODOLOGY
Rigour in resource development
A rigorous evidence-based methodology underpins the development and update of all resources within the JBI EBP Database. Content creation is guided by Expert Reference groups and JBI editorial teams and adheres to meticulous, quality control standards ensuring the publication of all resources is of high quality.
All resources are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to incorporate the best and most recent evidence, and to maintain relevancy and applicability.
Topic identification
Topics are identified in line with the Field Expert Reference Group, taxonomy and/or clinical enquiry
Search & Surveillance
A structured search is undertaken and evidence selected in line with the inclusion criteria
Quality Assessment
A quality assessment is undertaken of included evidence using JBI critical appraisal tools
Summarising & Presenting Evidence
The evidence is summarised and presented using standardised templates.
Peer Review
The topic is peer reviewed in a 2-stage peer review process
Publish to JBI EBP Database
The resources are published and made available via the JBI EBP Database.
Continuous Cycle of Review & Update
Regular update and review of topics occur to ensure and maintain clinical relevancy and applicability.
Standardisation is considered a significant marker of quality and reliability, and as such all JBI content is developed following standardised methodology for all resources:
- Evidence Summaries and Recommended Practices
- Best Practice Information Sheets
JBI Evidence Summaries and JBI Recommended Practices
Evidence-based resources that are developed for the JBI EBP Database are informed by guidance from the Expert Reference Group and the Field taxonomy. A structured and consistent approach to searching, selecting, appraising, and summarising the evidence is then undertaken.
All developed JBI Evidence Summary and JBI Recommended Practice documents undergo two stages of peer review:
- internal quality review process
- external peer review by experts in the field.
These resources are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to incorporate the best and most recent evidence. See publication on JBI Evidence Summary methodology
JBI Best Practice Information Sheets
A JBI Best Practice Information Sheet is a high-quality summary of a single Systematic Review. It takes the key evidence from large, complex systematic reviews and reframes it in an easy-to-read and succinct format - ideal for clinicians at the point of care to quickly access evidence.
The following criteria must be met for a JBI Best Practice Information Sheet to be developed and published in the JBI EBP Database:
- The systematic review has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed JBI Evidence Synthesis journal.
- Evidence from the systematic review directly informs clinical practice and/or policy, with clear recommendations for practice.
- The JBI Best Practice Information Sheet undergoes e a two-stage peer review: the first, an internal peer review by a JBI Field Editor followed by an external peer review by experts in the field.
