Submissions go through peer review using a standardized instrument developed by the AAMC Peer Review Task Force. The instrument evaluates numerous educational dimensions of the submitted resource, based on accepted standards of educational scholarship.

The HSLS Responsible Literature Searching for Research is one of the modules available through the University of Pittsburgh online program in the fundamentals of research -- Education and Certification Program in Research Practice and Fundamentals <https://rpf.health.pitt.edu/rpf>.
