Chadi sits down with Nora Disis, MD—Editor in Chief of JAMA Oncology and professor at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center—for a candid, wide-ranging discussion on the modern state of peer review and medical publishing. Dr. Disis reflects on the founding of JAMA Oncology and her role as its inaugural Editor in Chief, then pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when a manuscript is submitted (yes, she reads every one), how impact factors shape—and sometimes distort—the field, and what truly defines a high-quality peer reviewer. From the promises and pitfalls of AI to the pressures facing academic publishing today, this is a raw, thoughtful, and at times critical look at how medical evidence gets vetted and shared with the world.
