What does all this mean?
The research community and its publications function on a very thin line, which is founded and predicated on the ethics, honesty, and integrity of any writer of research. For this reason it is considered extremely bad form to fabricate data, modify patient history to improve a "story," or attempt to minimize other therapeutic interventions with the thought that this improves the value of their personal intervention. Evidence based chiropractic literature is the bedrock that the chiropractic profession can stand upon. If an author does not come from a place of ethics, honesty, and integrity, our published research is compromised, the research conference or journal is compromised, and our whole evidence base of literature is adversely affected.
1. We at SOTO-USA are consistently building an SOT evidence base.
2. We are showing the chiropractic research and academic community that we are a chiropractic technique that is attempting to investigate itself and build an evidence base = credibility.
3. We are developing doctors who have not had experience in writing for publication to take these first steps = building a group of SOT researchers.
4. One goal is to set the stage for developing papers for submissions to peer review journals and gaining greater cultural authority and credibility.
Research protects the future of SOT and chiropractic. It gives us a statement in the judiciary system with malpractice cases, national and internal scope of practices, such as what is happening in Great Britain, helps us develop a presence in chiropractic college curriculums, and gives us a rational for treatment with insurance companies.
