At Curēus, every published paper is scored by a broad cross-section of
users. Unlike traditional medical journals, the fate of a scholarly
paper is no longer determined by one or two individuals; literally
thousands of interested readers and professional colleagues review and
rate published articles. Indeed, most of the reviewers have backgrounds
in the same subspecialty that is the topic of the paper. Each article
accumulates a proprietary score, which we refer to as a "Scholarly
Impact Quotient" (SIQTM). The SIQTM is an
evolving, yet enduring reflection of a paper's true sceintific impact
as judged by the medical community at large. Although non-experts can
rate papers, the scholarly impact calculations place special emphasis
on areas of specialization and the peer reviewed publication record of
scoring experts.
