PROS LAND Study |
Review Policy:
It is PROS policy that all PROS practitioners who complete data collection for a study receive a copy of the manuscript(s) for review shortly before submission for publication. Written feedback to the authors is optional. All LAND Study participants will be credited by practice in papers submitted for publication. Participation at this level does not require any data analytic efforts, manuscript preparation or editing. Practitioners who complete all data collection and who participate in intermediate editing of manuscripts during their preparatory phase will also receive formal manuscript acknowledgment, listing and recognition at PROS meetings.
Authorship Opportunities:
Practitioners who wish to participate as paper authors on peer-reviewed manuscripts arising from the project will agree to the LAND Study Publication Policy which recognizes the network ownership of all data and employs the JAMA Criteria for Authorship. In short, practitioners wishing to participate in manuscript analyses and writing will be required to participate in monthly conference calls for periods of four to six months, review relevant literature and contribute to the writing of the papers derived from the data.
Individuals may wish to play a leadership role on one of the Topic Teams or alternatively to provide practitioner feedback to one of the Teams at this level. Subsequent results may be presented by practitioners at national or regional meetings or published in peer-reviewed journals.
For more information on the PROS Review Policy or authorship opportunities, please contact the PROS central office at pros@aap.org or call 800/433-9016, extension 7623.
