How do competitions work?
Call for Articles on a Defined Topic
Cureus publishing competitions are intended to encourage medical discovery and document clinical experiences – positive, negative, or neutral – and foster broader educational outreach through Open Access publication that is free to both authors and readers.
Crowdsourced Review Determines Winners
Winning articles are determined exclusively via peer review panels and community crowdsourced scoring. Neither the sponsoring company nor Cureus can determine the outcome of research paper competitions.
Article Submission Window
Article submissions for scientific research competitions must adhere to the described “call for articles” and are open to any and all related manufacturer or vendor technologies.
Independent Peer and Editorial Review
As a firewall to ensure objective and credible science, article selection, editorial review, peer review, and publication are strictly independent of the competition sponsor.
