Research Involvement and Engagement:Partnership with patients in a new publicationSlide2
Research
Involvement and Engagement is an international, interdisciplinary, health and social care journal focussing on patient and wider involvement and engagement in research, at all stages.
The
journal is co-produced by all key stakeholders, including patients, academics, policy makers and service users.Slide3
Patient involvement in research
Research ‘by’ and ‘with’, rather than research ‘about’, ‘to’
or
‘for’ patients, carers and the public.“What on earth is the point of doing research if it doesn’t make the patient’s life better
?”
This concept is now embedded in the work of key organisations:Slide4

Research ideas
Study proposal
Methodology

Guidance for reviewers
Is the rationale for what the author(s) have done clearly demonstrated?
Have all methods been described in sufficient detail to allow others to evaluate and/or reproduce the work in similar circumstances?
Is the interpretation (discussion and conclusion) of the article, well balanced and supported by what was done and/or seen?
Has sufficient attention been given to ethical considerations and how these were managed?
Can the writing, organization, tables and images be improved?
As
Research Involvement and Engagement
focuses on patient and public involvement in research, our patient reviewers are subject-area experts;Slide8
How to recruit patient reviewers?
Rely on those already familiar with the process of research and peer review:We actively approach those involved in research or those who review
for funding applications
Targeting patient organizationsSpreading the word
We are looking into introducing mentoring and training schemes for
patients and carers.
All patient reviewers receive APC waivers to submit to the journal and
acknowledgement on the website.Open access is fundamental to thisSlide9
