Translating Immunization Research Into Practice Intervention Study (TIRIP)
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 Translating Immunization Research Into
Practice Intervention Study participants will be credited by practice
in core 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 Translating
Immunization Research Into Practice Intervention 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.
