“…The developers wanted to change the culture of medicine in three different ways, and listeners strongly resonated with all of them: (2a) promoting diversity, (2b) promoting psychological safety, and (2c) creating a fun/ casual way to learn. Listeners report that this learnercentric approach improves their learning while also contributing to their well-being, yet note that this approach is too rarely found [20]. These results align with the broader literature of psychological safety in medical education, whereby students who do not feel judged have high psychological safety and are free to focus on learning in the present moment [21,22].…”

Background Despite its long-established importance, diagnostic reasoning (DR) education has suffered uneven implementation in medical education. The Clinical Problem Solvers (CPSolvers) podcast has emerged as a novel strategy to help teach DR through case conferences with expert diagnosticians and trainees. CPSolvers has 25,000 listeners in 147 countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the podcast by eliciting the developers’ goals of the podcast, then determining to what extent they aligned with the listeners’ actual usage habits, features they valued, and perceptions of the podcast. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 3 developers and 8 listeners from April–May 2020, followed by qualitative thematic analysis. Results Three major developer goals with sub-goals resulted: To teach diagnostic reasoning in a case-based format by (1a) teaching schemas, (1b) modeling expert diagnostic reasoning, (1c) teaching clinical knowledge, and (1d) teaching diagnostic reasoning terminology. To change the culture of medicine by (2a) promoting diversity, (2b) modeling humility and promoting psychological safety, and (2c) creating a fun, casual way to learn. To democratize the teaching of diagnostic reasoning by leveraging technology. Listeners’ usage habits, valued features, and perceptions overall strongly aligned with all these aspects, except for (1c) clinical knowledge, and (1d) diagnostic reasoning terminology. Listeners identified (1a) schemas, and (2c) promotion of psychological safety as the most valuable features of the podcast. Conclusion CPSolvers has been perceived as a highly effective and novel way to disseminate DR education in the form of case conferences, serving as an alternative to traditional in-person case conferences suspended during COVID-19. CPSolvers combines many known benefits of in-person case conferences with a compassionate and entertaining teaching style, plus advantages of the podcasting medium — democratizing morning report for listeners around the world.

“…Santamaría & Mihaljević's (2018) parameter tuning. Gender-guesser has been widely used in scientometric studies (Adler et al, 2020;Feramisco et al, 2009) and has been proved to have relatively high accuracy (Knowles et al, 2016;Zeina et al, 2020) 9 . In our sample, gender-guesser marked 5,519 of the 8,173 reviewers as definitively male or female.…”

Peer review of scientific manuscripts before publication is essential in scholarly publishing, and most active researchers hold relationships with a number of journals as both an author and a reviewer. There have been several studies focusing on gender balance in academic research and authorship, but fewer studies on our role as reviewers. Publons is a commercial website run by Clarivate Analytics that allows researchers to track and verify their peer review activities and be recognized for it. The platform features over 2 million researchers and 6.9 million reviews for more than 5,000 partnered journals, listing the most active reviewers as “top reviewers”. Our study focuses on gender representation in this ‘top reviewer’ group while also looking at the countries, regions and research fields they represent, as well as the relationship between their roles as authors and reviewers. The results show that male reviewers dominate in almost all countries, regions, and research fields. Male reviewers generally contribute to review work more frequently than females; however, female reviewers write longer reviews. The correlations between reviewing activity and research activity are generally weak overall and within specific research fields. This may reflect that active reviewers are not necessarily the most productive researchers in their fields. What clearly emerges from our results is the need for more concern over gender representation in the quality assurance and gatekeeping functions of scholarly publishing.
