Welcome to the JBI Scientific Writers Program

JBI Scientific Writers are an international group of expert authors who have an essential, financially reimbursed role in providing and summarising the latest evidence-based information. To maintain a consistent and rigorous approach to the development of our resources, JBI Scientific Writers are assigned a JBI Field Editor to assist them as they become familiar with JBI methodology, ensuring updated resources present the best available evidence to inform clinical practice.

Scientific Writers follow detailed guidance and search selected databases for recent, relevant, high-quality evidence related to a topic, critically appraise the evidence, update an a JBI Evidence Summary in line with the evidence, and outline the process in a technical development report. The updated JBI Evidence Summary then undergoes peer review before being published in the JBI EBP Database.
