Recommendations for Reviewers and Editors
Ways to Accelerate the Transfer of Research to
Practice
Recommendations for Editors, Journal Reviewers,
and Grant Reviewers
- Provide editorial guidelines and templates (ala CONSORT criteria
or NIH reporting criteria on minority participation) to facilitate
and reinforce reporting on reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance
and enhance critical appraisal of evidence.
- Encourage and provide feedback on adequacy of reporting on representativeness
of subjects and settings as well as intervention agents.
- Encourage reporting on implementation issues including time, costs,
and range of intervention agents who can successfully deliver programs.
- Encourage reporting (and relax usual editorial criteria) for investigations
of long-term results of programs at individual and setting levels,
and especially at BOTH levels.
- Publish editorials and calls for papers that address translation, dissemination
and external validity issues and publish review criteria that encourage
reviewers to equally consider issues of internal and external validity.
- Include generalizability and potential for translation to practice a
review criterion for funding of behavior change research.
