Poor-quality RWE studies are increasingly published due to easy access to large datasets and low barriers to analysis, creating challenges for journal editors and peer reviewers. This session will explore how researchers, publishers, and reviewers can improve the reliability and transparency of RWE studies in literature. Panelists will share stakeholder perspectives and discuss opportunities to strengthen practices across the RWE research lifecycle.

Learning Objective :
  • Recognize key indicators of high-quality RWE studies and studies and evaluate study methods and reporting with greater confidence
  • Outline steps the research community can take to support high-quality peer review of real-world evidence studies
