Introducing NephJC Shorts
In just over a decade of critical appraisal on NephJC, we have done several experiments. Some of them have worked out phenomenally well, such as the Freely Filtered podcast. Others were not ready for the time, such as the Google Hangouts. We want to try another such experiment, and hope we receive feedback to decide if this is something worthwhile that we should continue doing.
There are many studies and many trials and many reviews, and many guidelines that are published in Nephrology every week. Indeed, it is a golden era for randomized controlled trials in Nephrology. On the other hand, NephJC only occurs twice a month. It does take a lot of work, with the detailed critical appraisal, readable summary, visual, abstracts, and the chats. Sometimes the occasional, irregularly irregular podcast. Hence, we cannot deal with all the worthwhile studies that are coming out.
Enter NephJC Shorts.
This week, we are publishing a few short blogs. The purpose here is to cover some notable studies in brief. They do not receive the full, long, NephJC treatment. The articles we choose are those that the NephJC editorial team fancies, but suggestions are welcome. Since these are a shorter format, we don’t do a deep dive into the methods and don’t have a long list of the limitations and strengths. Think of them as a pithy version of the usual NephJC blog. Feedback welcome!
