For those who have published in Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) before, you will know that our shorter commentary pieces were previously categorised as 'Review Articles' with a heading of 'Summary Review', and our recently introduced Systematic Reviews were categorised as 'Reviews'. This meant both article types would appear under the 'Reviews & Analysis' search function, which had the potential to cause confusion.

To address this, we decided to re-categorise the two article types. This year, EBD migrated over to a new production workflow, which will not only significantly reduce accept to publication turnaround times, but will also help to distinguish the two article types via a new, clearer categorisation system. The commentary pieces are now categorised as 'Comments' and are searchable under the 'News & Comment' search function; these bring clinically relevant and quality research to practitioners in a clear and accessible way, in order that their practice is informed by evidence. Systematic Reviews are now simply categorised as 'Articles' and are searchable under the 'Research articles' search function (pictured).
