What's fundamentally wrong with editorial management systems is they are document based. This prevents automated copyediting, formatting, and AI integration. At RJIM, working on PostgreSQL-based editorial management with minimal author friction to automate 90% of the process #research

RJIM now has an ISSN registered with the Library of Congress and is searchable in WorldCat 🎊🎉 A great place to publish your Internal Medicine case reports and research as open access for free, because that’s the way we think it should be rjmedicine.org #EMIMCC
I am no longer winning the game I literally made 😅. At least people seem to enjoy it. You can play or Duolingo-ify your own teaching materials, 100% free at mededassessments.com #meded #EMIMCC
I wanted to stay consistent with board review, so I built the Duolingo of critical care The entire ABIM blueprint (>400 lessons) Review articles for reading Quizzes to practice (>2,000 MCQs) Track your daily streak Climb the leaderboard 100% free #meded #EMIMCC tinyurl.com/3nesysyf
Textbooks are so 20th century. They're: -obsolete in a year or two -passive -teach facts over reasoning Instead, you can take any content and use AI to: -generate cases that teach reasoning -organize into tracks that are pull-along and engaging -link to living docs (UpToDate) #MedEd
RJIM is now on Google Scholar 🎉🎊 We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit journal with no mandatory APCs sometimes paid peer review Open to case reports and original research in #InternalMedicine
The interest in rjmedicine.org has been validating. Researchers are ready for a non-profit, truly open publishing ecosystem. To keep up with growth, we're now using NextJS. We'll be able to build AI integration and automation. If you're interested in crafting the ideal publishing experience, join us
We used to hand out PDFs of cases to residents… So I added open-ended questions to #MedEd Assessments. Provide the ideal answer as the instructor, and AI will grade the learners’ answers against it. Incorporated with learning streaks, leader boards, and pre-post assessment.
Our online #POCUS track now includes volume status with appearances from the great @katiewiskar.bsky.social @pocusmeded.bsky.social @pocus101.bsky.social Enroll to learn, or if you’re a teacher, clone the track and add your own content Totally free. beta.mededassessments.com/track-reposi...
It's 2026, stop giving lectures. beta.mededassessments.com now lets you Duolingo-ify them in one click. Make learning pathways with XP and learning streaks. Track progress on the leaderboard. Share your curriculum to the repo & integrate assessments. Totally free. Totally open. #MedEd
An interesting study on #medstudent research growth from 2003-2023 doi.org/10.1371/jour... Similar to our 2012-2022 findings by showing tremendous growth: doi.org/10.63495/710... But is the research growth finally starting to plateau?? #MedEd
Medical student research productivity and scholarly impact: A 20-year bibliometric comparison with medical residents
Research experience during medical school is widely recognized as a valuable component of medical education and an increasingly emphasized aspect of residency applications. However, growing research p...

The only hope for our field is triadic care, where AI is deployed in such a way that maintains -- or even enhances -- human relationships. Otherwise, "AI doctor" startups will continue to chip away and further fragment our already struggling primary care.

I have tons of lectures that I've made for #medstudents and #residents, but I wanted to gamify them to make them more engaging. So I built a free gamification feature on beta.mededassessments.com. Upload a lecture, and it generates a team comp, jeopardy, or live quiz game #MedEd #MedSky #EMIMCC
Howdy #MedEd friends and enemies, our MedEd game research group/community of practice is planning our first conference. If you are into that sort of thing let me know what you want to see and get notified when details are up. ohsu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Scientists sued the six biggest for-profit academic publishers, alleging they colluded to enforce “publish-or-perish,” single-submission rules, unpaid peer review, and limits on sharing research. The results just came in…
How to fix scientific publishing: 1. Build GitHub for manuscript writing 2. Set up preprints and publishing as pull requests ⭐️Versioning/contributor tracking mitigate fraud ⭐️Pull requests mitigate administrative costs ⭐️Everything is open ⭐️The freemium model improves access #research #meded #medsky
I often get asked by residents and medical students where they can publish their case reports. So I built a tool where you can query over 1000 medical journals that publish CRs by cost, MEDLINE status, time to publication, specialty, etc. #meded #research #medsky www.rjmedicine.org/journal-finder
Case Report Journal Finder
Quickly surface reputable, cost-conscious journals for your clinical case report based on specialty, APC preferences, and indexing.

The top six commercial publishers are currently being sued for anti-trust violations (Uddin v. Elsevier, B.V., 1:24-cv-06409). They publish the majority of articles on PubMed. This year, we will find out the verdict. If they lose, this would have DRAMATIC effects on #research
This is the last 150 years of PubMed publications by major Publishing organizations. It started with small University and Nonprofit presses, now becoming an absolute domination by commercial publishers #research #medsky
