Peer Review and Conflict of Interest in Annals of Emergency Medicine Unless otherwise stated, all original articles published in Annals of Emergency Medicine are peer reviewed by members of the editorial board and expert reviewers. This includes original research, case conferences and reports, concepts and state-of-the-art reviews, special contributions, Clinical Topic Reviews in Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine, and Skills for Evidence-Based Emergency Care. Departments in the journal (Correspondence; Editorials; Brief Commentaries; Health Policy Report; Residents’ Perspective; CDC Update; NHTSA Notes; Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine “Feedback,” “Updates,” and “Abstracts”; Change of Shift; and Media and Book Reviews) are peer reviewed by an editorial board member. In all Annals’ peer review, the identity of authors is concealed from reviewers and vice versa. ACEP Policy Statements and Clinical Policies are not peer reviewed by the journal.
Annals makes every effort to minimize the opportunity for potential conflicts of interest by authors, reviewers, and editors. Authors are required, on submission of their manuscript, to state in writing whether or not outside funding or other form of support was received and its source, as well as whether or not they have any financial interest in the subject of their study. This information is published with the article. Reviewers are required to declare any potential conflict of interest in their review of a manuscript, and the editor then decides whether it is of a nature that requires they be replaced with another reviewer. Editors who have a conflict of interest regarding a manuscript are required to recuse themselves from the decisionmaking process. The full details of these and other publication ethics policies of this journal are available on the Web at www.mosby.com/AnnEmergMed.
