The Ottawa Citizen published an article this past week concerning the launch of the Canadian chapter of EQUATOR at The Ottawa Hospital. Founded in Britain in 2006, EQUATOR suggests guidelines for how scientists publish their discoveries. It aims to improve the trustworthiness of biomedical journals, which publish the latest medical research news. Dr. David Moher, who was on hand to launch EQUATOR’s Canadian chapter, told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper that OHRI plans to train a publications officer who will check manuscripts before they’re submitted for publications.
