What’s it like to be a PEDro Rater – Roberto de Sousa Bezerra da Silva

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

How long have you been a Rater?

I have been evaluating since March 11, 2024.

 

What do you enjoy about rating?

In addition to being able to choose the number of articles that are sent to me each month, I find the evaluation process quite fun. Knowing that I contribute a little to the quality of physiotherapy makes me very proud.

 

Why did you start rating?

I have always been a fan of PEDro’s work. I am the coordinator of a postgraduate course in sports physiotherapy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and one of the subjects I teach is evidence-based practice. I talk a lot about PEDro during my classes and one day I thought: “Why not contribute in some way?” So, my biggest motivation was to try to contribute to increasing evidence-based physiotherapy.
