Anecrit's Newsletter #07
Issue #[07] | Week of [08/08/2025] - [22/08/2025]
Welcome!
I hope this week finds you well! You’ll notice a couple of changes in this issue: I’ve focused exclusively on guidelines, systematic reviews & meta-analyses, clinical trials, and reviews. I’ve also refreshed the layout—now, articles are sorted by type of paper, with topics neatly grouped under each category.
I’m not sure yet if this format is better, but the only way to know is to try! Your thoughts mean a lot to me, so I’d love to hear what you think of these changes. After all, this newsletter (and the website) grows and improves with you. :)
