MedEdPORTAL Workshop on Peer Review & Scholarly Refinement
Impartial assessment is an essential component of scholarly
review. Peer review is the attentive, unbiased assessment of materials
submitted to publication outlets by reviewers and is the very foundation
of academic publication. MedEdPORTAL maintains a pool of 800+ nominated
expert reviewers that serve as important quality gatekeepers to
the system. To evaluate assigned submissions, reviewers must, in
part, scrutinize the quality and quantity of information contained
in both the provided submission form and in the resource itself.
Due to the tremendous growth and continued expansion of MedEdPORTAL,
this workshop will serve as a foundation for the recruitment and
training of reviewers.
This session will:
- Explore the history, state of affairs, and future directions
of scholarly peer review.
- Provide an understanding of the MedEdPORTAL peer review philosophy
and process.
- Address practical issues associated with the submission and
review of MedEdPORTAL submissions and their respective educational
content.
- Familiarize participants with the MedEdPORTAL peer review form.
- Address conflict-of-interest policies and procedures as they
relate to MedEdPORTAL publications.
- Introduce participants to reviewer reference materials available
today.

MedEdPORTAL Advocacy: Training the Trainer
In 2005 the Association of American Medical Colleges
developed and launched MedEdPORTAL as a free publishing venue and
dissemination portal to support educators and learners as they create
and use on-line teaching materials, assessment tools, and faculty
development resources around the world. The voice of MedEdPORTAL
resides with its member institutions, affiliations, and partner
organizations. MedEdPORTAL seeks to make this voice heard by training
individuals, or Advocates, as a channel for the promotion of this
unique service program. Advocates will play an important role in
distributing training information, acting as on-site liaisons, and
recruiting submissions and peer reviewers to MedEdPORTAL.
This session will:
- Teach MedEdPORTAL Advocates how to promote MedEdPORTAL among
faculty, colleagues, and friends across the globe.
- Increase understanding among MedEdPORTAL Advocates about the
process and the value of packaging content for publication through
an open-source with a focus on increasing submissions to MedEdPORTAL.
- Describe to Advocates how to build and foster relationships
to garner high quality educational resources for submission and
nominations of potential peer reviewers.
- Promote the understanding and value of MedEdPORTAL as a form
of scholarship that is comparable to a peer-reviewed research
paper published through a reputable print-based journal.

MedEdPORTAL: Intellectual Property on an Open Source
- What You Should Know
The creative digital works of medical and dental educators
represent the core of MedEdPORTAL. This dynamic and asynchronous
digital learning environment has taken these works outside of the
classroom and the traditional copyright frameworks for educational
use of materials. Because the materials submitted to MedEdPORTAL
are made widely available, educators submitting to MedEdPORTAL must
be conscious of any copyright issues in their works and acquire
the appropriate permissions. MedEdPORTAL's strict rights clearance
process ensures that MedEdPORTAL resources are available to the
globe, both free of charge and in perpetuity. This model is meant
to address areas of potential infringement and serve to assist the
education audience in publishing their digital educational scholarship
on an open basis. This workshop will feature a presentation on intellectual
property for medical and dental educators with regard to MedEdPORTAL
and will feature a panel discussion of experts for further instruction
and discussion.
This session will:
- Define the varying aspects of copyright, intellectual property,
and patient privacy information and infringements.
- Provide an understanding of copyright law basics as they relate
to open-source publishing and provide clarification of "public
domain," vs. "openly licensed content" vs. "publically available"
via the Internet or other means.
- Highlight the importance of informed consent and compliance
with patient privacy laws.
- Provide a working knowledge of developing content focused with
repurposing and licensing.
- Suggest ways to obtain individual institutional copyright policy
information.
- Review the options available for licensing solutions available
today.

New forms of digital publishing have provided unprecedented
opportunities for publication of scholarly works online. The transformational
power of injecting e-learning technology into medical education
now saturates many of today's institutions and learning establishments.
E-learning technology is an emerging method of learning where the
medium of instruction is based heavily upon computer, digital, and
multimedia technologies. Through MedEdPORTAL, these facets of delivery
blend together; providing learners free access to high-quality,

refinement. This workshop serves as an introduction to the MedEdPORTAL
publication service and online journal. Authors are encouraged to
bring their teaching materials as the session will cover educational
scholarship through peer review. In addition, they will learn the
processes of submitting those materials through MedEdPORTAL for
publication with global dissemination. The workshop will conclude

purposes
This session will:
- Provide a working knowledge on how to develop and properly package
the essential components of a complete MedEdPORTAL teaching module.
