2801 Unit 10: collaboration Flashcards
things to consider before choosing a mentor
- the mentors time availability
- the roles and responsibilities the mentor agrees to take on and resources they provide (3 R’s)
- the expectations the mentor has for the mentee
research supervisors appreciate when mentees:
- communicate clearly with questions
- honesty about what they have done and what they plan to do
- open to constructive criticism
- respect the mentor and mentors time
what is the first step for students when assembling a team of collaborators early in the research process?
identifying a professor as a mentor
collaborators help ensure that the project will be
- scientifically valid
- ethically and culturally appropriate
- time and cost efficient
mentorship is
a formal or informal relationship in which a more experienced person offers advice for development/guidance to a less experienced person
how can I find a mentor
- ask classmates, profs, supervisors
- search profiles in home institution
- email potential mentors to as for advice
t/f? an invitation to meet is an agreement to serve as a mentor
false
t/f? mentor is same thing as supervisor
false
what is professional development
intentional process of establishing professional goals
- complete activities that enable progress toward achieving these goals
how can you accomplish professional development
- complete coursework about research methods
- participate in journal clubs
- work as a research assistant
- attend conferences
- enrol in training programs (online modules)
bibliometrics
quantitative analyses of written publication
H-index
an author has at least h publications that have been cited at least h times
i10 index
a count of the # of publications by an author that have been cited at least 10 times
2 issues with the metrics
- articles with simpler methodologies are easier to understand and get more citations
- open-access articles are getting more citations especially by researchers from lower-resource countries
the responsible conduct of research encompasses:
ethics, professionalism, best collaboration practices, communication
being a supporting member of a research team provides and opportunity to become familiar with disciplinary
true
co-authorship
process of 2+ collaborators working together to write a report or article
when are decisions made about which authors will be listed
ASAP
large research programs have
an authorship committee
lead author
conceptualized the research, does most of analysis, interpretation and discussion, writes first drafts
who is almost always the first person listed on the author list
lead author
senior author
does a lot, but not as much as lead. can be a research supervisor (usually listed second or last depending on policy)
middle author
anyone else with different levels of collaborations
how are middle authors listed
in order from greater to least contribution to alphabetically by family name
most new researchers are middle authors before becoming a lead
true
corresponding author does what?
- submits article
- formats
- reviews
- communicated journal responses to article
- other admin work
this is the person to contact if you want to know more about the research, usually is 1st author
who established a criteria for authorship that most journals in the field have adopted
ICMJE
I see Maia and jaime eating
ICMJE stands for
international committee of medical journal editors
the criteria ICMJE created to attain authorship is as follows
- make contributions to conception or design
- draft the article and provide critical revision
- approve the final version
- accept responsibility for the integrity of the paper
ghost authorship
someone fails to include an author who made substantial intellectual contribution
gift authorship
someone who has not earned authorship is added to the list
