What’s it like to be a PEDro Rater – Peter Stubbs

To celebrate #PEDroTurns25, we asked our PEDro Raters why they volunteer to rate articles on PEDro.

Peter Stubbs, Senior Lecturer at University of Technology Sydney

How long have you been a Rater?

1 year

 

What do you enjoy about rating?

I enjoy reading the most up to date literature with acritical eye knowing that my ratings will be used to benefit to physiotherapy profession.

 

Why did you start rating?

I critically appraise literature anyway so I thought it would be nice to do this with a purpose. With the exponential amount of literature being published, I wanted to ensure we have scores in the PEDro database with double ratings for most articles. To do this we need Raters and people to help. For me, this is a nice way to give back and maintain a resource I have relied so heavily on in the past.
