Abstract

This article aims to analyse the editorial activities of Minerva, a Belgian evidence-based medicine (EBM) journal, according to the guidelines of quaternary prevention. From the editorial production of Minerva, a narrative analysis of its writing activities was carried out in relation to clinical questioning,
research, critics and interpretation of relevant clinical information to professional practice. The limits of EBM are clearly detailed, as well as the tools and lines of reflection issued by the editorial team in order to promote the implementation of EBM in clinical practice. In this way, it is intended to prevent
unnecessary medical interventions by strengthening the quaternary prevention as a key competence of healthcare staff throughout their professional life to the service of patients, which may be reinforced by the work of the editorial team of an EBM journal.
