Kelly Cobey and David Moher to develop a journal transparency tool. Prior to his post-doctoral fellowship, he completed his PhD training at the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact at McMaster University. Approximately one decade ago, Jeremy began his research career in the field of complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine. Being immersed in this dynamic and controversial field of study, plagued with poor quality reporting and methodological challenges, ultimately led him to his most recent research area of interest: journalology. Over his career, he has also had the opportunityto stablish two journals as a publisher, in addition to serving on the editorial boards of multiple journals.
