The Aesthetics journal has introduced a new Aesthetics Reviewing Panel (ARP) in order to make the publication peer-reviewed.
The ARP is a panel of expert practitioners in the field of aesthetics who are industry leaders and highly experienced in their field. The panel encompasses a wide range of medical professionals with different clinical skills and expertise to ensure that articles published in the journal are clinically approved. The approved articles will be given an ARP kitemark.
Shannon Kilgariff, editor and content manager of the Aesthetics journal, said, “It is a pleasure to welcome a new panel to the Aesthetics journal publication. We work closely with our current Clinical Advisory Board, which is led by nurse prescriber Sharon Bennett, to ensure the articles we publish are relevant, science-based, factually accurate and appropriately referenced.”
She continued, “However, we feel that to further progress the publication and enhance the value of the journal, we need to implement a peer-review process. You will start to notice the ARP kitemark, which means that the article has been reviewed by a fellow practitioner who specialises in that particular area of aesthetics. With help from our Clinical Advisory Board, I can’t wait to work more closely with our ARP and continue to bring the best educational articles to our readership.”
Aesthetic nurse prescriber and Clinical Lead of the Aesthetics Clinical Advisory Board Sharon Bennett added, “By incorporating expert peer reviewing prior to publication, we are taking a further step to ensure Aesthetics journal readers have access to checked, referenced articles and submissions. This not only reassures the readers, but also the authors.”
