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 Polio Immunization Delivery 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 Polio Immunization
Delivery 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.
