This is the first of two episodes with Dr. Dennis Bier, former editor of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In this episode we get an inside look into the process behind turning a research manuscript into a scientific publication. Dr. Bier gives his perspective on what it’s like to run a major scientific journal, as well as the quality of evidence he saw during his time at the AJCN. We also discuss the inherent biases associated with expertise, and the methods Dr. Bier used to minimize this when approaching a manuscript.   Thanks for listening, if you’d like to hear more episodes of Methodology Matters: A Podcast on Evidence-Based Nutrition, you can find at methodologymatters.podbean.com   Or you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and on Google Podcasts.   And, if you’d like to learn more about Dr. Dennis Bier, you can find his faculty profile at the Baylor College of medicine’s website.   Thanks for tuning in; we’ll see you on the next episode of Methodology Matters, A Podcast on Evidence-Based Nutrition.
