Rigor in resource development
A rigorous evidence-based methodology underpins the development and update of all resources within the JBI EBP Database. Content developed by the Editorial and Contributing teams adheres to meticulous, quality control standards ensuring publication of all resources is of high quality.
Standardisation is considered a significant marker of quality and reliability, and as such all JBI content is developed following standardised methodology. Resources developed are informed by guidance from the ERG and the Field taxonomy. A structure and consistent approach to searching, selecting, appraising, and summarising the evidence are then undertaken. All developed JBI ES and RP documents undergo two stages of peer review, the first, an internal quality review process which is then followed by an external peer review by experts in the field. Once the peer-review process is complete the resources are ready to be published to the JBI EBP Database. Update and review of the evidence and the resources are undertaken on a regular basis.
