Methodology
DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the “top doctors” list, DataJoe Research will facilitate an online peer-nomination process, also referencing government sources. In addition, DataJoe will conduct media analysis through Internet research to factor in public perception. DataJoe will then tally the nominations per category for each doctor to isolate the top nominees in each category. After collecting nominations and factoring additional information from the media analysis, DataJoe will check and confirm that each published winner has a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If they are not able to find evidence of a doctor’s current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that doctor will be excluded from the list. In addition, any doctor who has been disciplined, up to the time-frame of the review process for an infraction by the state regulatory board, will be excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe will present the tallied result to the magazine staff for final review and adjustments.
