Clinical Cornerstone
Clinical Cornerstone is a medical journal.
The Clinical Cornerstone website states that material is chosen for the journal by the following process:
- Q. How are topics chosen for the journal?
- A. The editorial advisory board recommends topics in the form of a needs assessment, based on literature searches, readers’ responses on evaluation forms, and input based on current interest and common practice problems faced by primary care practitioners. Subscriber suggestions for topics of interest are welcome.[1]
This account seems to leave out the possibility that a client of Excerpta Medica, the Medical PR firm that publishes the journal, might be able to influence or insert material in the journal or its supplements.
- Q. How are faculty/contributors selected?
- A. Excerpta Medica’s worldwide involvement with thought leaders provides a basis for identifying expert faculty in particular topical areas. The journal editor chooses a guest editor based on these recommendations. Once the guest editor is selected for a topic, he or she works with the journal editor to select contributing authors who can provide the expertise to bridge the gap between the specialist and the primary care practitioner.[2]
