Authoring and Reviewing

 

The diagram and text below explains our process of authoring and reviewing.

 

We plan to have 1-2 people per job at any one time, though want to have the processes sufficiently simple, and compartmentalized, that it is easy for people to step in and out of the roles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) recruitment and engagement

In many different ways - through conversation, emails, and presentations - we want to share the message of SiH and get people excited to contribute. The goal is to answer their questions and get people to visit these links to sign up:

• author
• illustrate
• review

We have form emails to send out to people, available here.

 

 

2) Word doc repository

Topics that need to be authored or reviewed will be waiting in a repository (perhaps dropbox, or basecamp?) for people to use them! David will create and upload these Word docs.

 

 

3) Authoring and follow-up

• Monitor the author@sharinginhealth email three times weekly for people who are signing up. The first step is to ensure they are a health care student; if there is doubt, this needs to be addressed first.
• Email the author instructions on how to author, as well as the relevant Word doc from the repository (draft email here). If there is any issue, email David.
• After two weeks, send a follow-up email to the author, seeing if they have any questions (draft email here).
• Once the topic is complete, upload the Word doc into the repository.
• Ask for a 1-2 sentence biography.
• Update the topic database at each step.

 

 

4) Reviewing and follow-up

• Monitor the reviewer@sharinginhealth email three times weekly for people who are signing up. The first step is to ensure they are a qualified health care professional; if there is doubt, this needs to be addressed first.
• Email the author instructions on how to review, as well as the relevant Word doc from the repository (draft email here). If there is any issue, email David.
• After two weeks, send a follow-up email to the reviewer, seeing if they have any questions (draft email here).
• Once the topic is complete, email David the completed topic.
• Ask for a 1-2 sentence biography.
• Update the topic database at each step.

 

 

 

5) Final review

David will have a look at the topic and make any relevant changes before uploading it!
