Guidance for Authors

So you’re considering joining our team?

Thank you. We appreciate your enthusiasm for FOAMed and for TBL.

Below are links to our authors guide and our template.

The guide is not a complete explanation of critical appraisal – it just explains how we like to standardise our summaries. Our educational blog will, in time, explain how to perform critical appraisal!

The template is to help form your summary. Ultimately, we manage our content directly through the website’s blog platform. We invite you to submit the completed Word document (and we will copy and paste it to the website) for your first (trial) summary. If you become a regular contributor, then you will be given a username and password for the site.
