The time may have come for paradigm shifts. Does cosmological inflation require a modification of Einstein’s gravity? Have experiments at the LHC discovered a new particle beyond the Standard Model? It is premature to ...

Since its arrival to the scene of medicine and despite its worldwide acceptance as a new paradigm in healthcare, the implementation of evidence has been extremely slow [1, 2]. The latter was the primary driving force for the birth of the science of knowledge translation—the practical implementation of evidence [3]. The article by Widyahening et al. [4] is a welcome move for incorporating eviden...
