Essentials of the Successful Manuscript outlines the organization and tools needed to produce and critique a successful original article for reviewers, authors, editors, and readers.

How to Review a Delphi Consensus Statement
Al Getgood MD FRCS, Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic, London, Ontario, Canada
There have been a growing number of consensus statements submitted to AJSM in the past number of years, many of which use the Delphi methodology. This study design seeks expert opinions in an iterative planned fashion to develop consensus on best practice on a topic beyond existing knowledge or can provide means of dealing with conflicting scientific evidence.
The objective of this talk will be to outline the steps of the Delphi Process giving reviewers a blueprint to work from when critiquing papers that are based upon a Delphi consensus process.
Writing and Evaluating Systematic Reviews in Sports Medicine Research
Timothy E. Foster, MD, MBA, MS, Mass General Brigham Healthcare, Newton, MA
Systematic reviews and meta-analysis are critical components of sports medicine research, and the AJSM Current Concepts Section is dedicated to publishing several high-quality systematic reviews each year. This type of research can be performed outside a laboratory or clinical setting, but fundamental principles of systematic reviews and meta-analysis should be followed before consideration for publication. Dr. Foster will discuss basic concepts in how to plan, perform and review systematic reviews, such as the difference between systematic reviews and meta-analysis, determining the review question, the scope of the review, and methods and tools for structuring the review. The lecture will progress to more advanced topics, such as selecting the effect measures, understanding bias and conflicts, and finally understanding and measuring heterogeneity.
