Manuscripts selected for this section will be those deemed through the review process to represent excellent work from the next generation of researchers in psychiatry. We encourage authors to review the criteria for this section and submit papers for consideration.


Dr Goldberg explains how reviewing a manuscript is akin to adopting the mindset of an emergency department physician and applying the diagnostic process to each aspect of the manuscript. He provides an overview of some statistical measures and types of studies. He also gives examples on how to become a critical reader, further describing what constitutes a critical review and instructing how to provide helpful criticism to the author and editor.
