The Bone & Joint Journal at the 2019 AAOS Annual Meeting
Description
In a live discussion broadcasted from Las Vegas, Emma Vodden interviews Professor Fares Haddad, the editor-in-chief of the Bone and Joint Journal. Their conversation centers around the pressing issue of peri-prosthetic infections in the orthopedic community, highlighting the slow progress in research over the past three decades. Professor Haddad emphasizes the importance of robust data from randomized studies and cohort studies to address this critical issue rather than solely relying on consensus or registry data.
The dialogue transitions to the broader topic of academic publishing, where Haddad addresses the challenges of distinguishing between reputable journals and predatory ones, accentuated by the rise of open publishing. He advises researchers to critically evaluate the methodology and validity of published studies and reassures them that established journals like his adhere to rigorous peer review processes.
As the discussion wraps up, Vodden expresses eagerness for Haddad's upcoming session on publishing, showcasing their commitment to enhancing the quality of orthopedic literature and research.
