About

Paul Glasziou is a towering figure in evidence-based medicine, renowned for his work in research methodology, clinical epidemiology, and the reduction of research waste. A founding member of the Cochrane Collaboration, his major contributions include pioneering the concept of "evidence-based practice" and developing tools to critically appraise medical literature. His highly cited research, such as the 2022 study identifying questionable research practices in over 163,000 randomized controlled trials, has exposed widespread biases in trial design, including inadequate randomization and blinding. This work has been cited over 17 times and underscores his relentless drive to improve research integrity. Glasziou’s impact is profound: his publications have accumulated tens of thousands of citations, shaping how clinicians and researchers evaluate evidence. Notably, he co-authored the influential book *Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach It* and has led initiatives like the "REduce research Waste And Reward Diligence" (REWARD) campaign. His legacy lies in empowering practitioners to base decisions on robust, transparent science, making him a vital voice for rigor in modern medicine.
