Question 5

Research Team

Answer 5

Once an investigator has committed to doing a research project, it is helpful to assemble a team of collaborators early in the research process

For students, the first step is identifying at least one professor to serve as a mentor

Question 6

What is Mentorship?

Answer 6

a formal or INFORMAL relationship in which a more experienced person (the mentor) offers professional development advice and guidance to a less experienced mentee

Question 7

How to find a mentor?

Answer 7

-Ask classmates, colleagues, professors, supervisors who might be helpful mentors
-Search the profiles of researchers at the new investigator’s home institution
-Email the individuals identified as potential mentors to ask for professional development advice; an invitation to meet is not an agreement to serve as a mentor

Question 8

Is this true: Mentor ≠ supervisor or instructor

Answer 8

YES
Mentor ≠ supervisor or instructor

Question 9

The Mentor–Mentee Relationship

Answer 9

A new investigator should not agree to enter into a mentor–mentee relationship before gaining an informed understanding of several key matters, including:
-The potential mentor’s time availability, preferred frequency and style of communication
-The roles and responsibilities the mentor agrees to take on, the resources the mentor agrees to provide
-The expectations the mentor has of the mentee
Research supervisors appreciate when mentees:
ØCommunicate often with clear questions
ØAre honest about what they have done and what they plan to do
ØComplete assigned tasks satisfactorily and on time, maintain meticulous research records
ØAre open to receiving constructive criticism
ØRespect the mentor and the mentor’s time

Question 10

Professional Development

Answer 10

The intentional process of establishing professional goals, identifying and completing activities that enable systematic progress toward achieving those goals
ØIncludes routinely evaluating performance, competencies, and growth
How?
ØCompleting online or in-person coursework about research methods
ØParticipating in journal clubs and in professional organizations
ØWorking as a research assistant
ØAttending and presenting at research conferences
ØEnrolling in training programs (online modules)

Question 11

Communication within the Research Community

Answer 11

-Several general and discipline-specific social networking platforms are available for researchers to use for NETWORKING, having online conversations about methodologies and tools, SHARING RESOURCES, communicating about recent publications, and BUILDING A PROFESSIONAL ONLINE PRESENCE
-There are some impact metrics that show how much the researchers’ work have been communicated

Question 12

ØBibliometrics:

Answer 12

quantitative analyses of written publications

Question 13

h-index:

Answer 13

an author has at least h publications that have each been cited at least h times

Question 14

i10 index:

Answer 14

a count of the number of publications by an author that have been cited at least 10 times

Question 15

What are two main issues with these metrics?

Answer 15

1)Articles with simpler methodologies are easier to understand and get more citations
2)Open-access articles are getting more citations especially by researchers from lower-resource countries

Question 16

Ethics in Conducting Research
Responsible conduct of research

Answer 16

Ø A concept that encompasses research ethics, professionalism, and best practices for collaboration and communication with other researcher
ØBeing a supporting member of a research team provides a valuable opportunity to become familiar with disciplinary and professional standards, academic writing and publishing, and the habits of good coauthors

Question 17

Authorship

Most Articles have two and more Authors…
Co-authorship

Answer 17

-The process of two or more collaborators working together to write a research report/article
-Decisions about who will be listed as a coauthor on a report, poster, or paper, as well as the order in which those coauthors will be listed, should be made as early as possible in the research process
-Large research programs have an authorship committee

Question 18

Authorship Order
What are the main three?
LSM

Answer 18

Lead author
Senior author
Middle authors

Lead author: the person who conceptualizes the research, writes the frist drafts, does most of analysis, interpretation and discussion.
-Almost always the first person in the author list

Senior author(s): doing a lot but less than first author or are the research supervisors, goes 2nd or last depends on the organization policies

Middle authors: others with different levels of collaborations. Either in order from greatest to least contribution or alphabetically by family name
-Guided by the authorship committee
-Most new researchers serve as “middle authors” before becoming a lead author for the first time
-If you work hard, it is highly likely to publish your thesis, research projects, and be the first author

Question 19

Lead author:

Answer 19

the person who conceptualizes the research, writes the frist drafts, does most of analysis, interpretation and discussion.
-Almost always the first person in the author list

Question 20

Senior author(s):

Answer 20

doing a lot but less than first author or are the research supervisors, goes 2nd or last depends on the organization policies

Question 21

Middle authors:

Answer 21

others with different levels of collaborations. Either in order from greatest to least contribution or alphabetically by family name
-Guided by the authorship committee
-Most new researchers serve as “middle authors” before becoming a lead author for the first time
-If you work hard, it is highly likely to publish your thesis, research projects, and be the first author

Question 22

Summary of the author bullshit LSM

Answer 22

Question 23

Corresponding Author (usually (not always) the first author )
is responsible for
(so fucking mint touch our cocks)

Answer 23

-submission of the article
-formatting
-managing the review process
-the person to contact if you want to know more about the research
-other administration works
-communicating journal responses

Question 24

Authorship Rules
_____, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, has established criteria for authorship in the health sciences that most journals in the field have adopted
What are the four rules? If you don’t know your going to make me MAAD)

Answer 24

ICMJE
1.Making SUBSTANTIAL contributions to conception or design of the study and/or to data collection, analysis, or interpretation
2.Approving the final version of the manuscript that is submitted to a publisher
3.Accepting RESPONSIBILITY for the integrity of the paper
4.Drafting the article and/or providing critical revisions of intellectual content

To earn coauthorship, all 4 ICMJE criteria must be met

Question 25

-

Answer 25

-There should be no GHOST authorship, the FAILURE TO INCLUDE as a coauthor on a manuscript a contributor who has made a substantial intellectual contribution to a research project

-There should be no GIFT authorship, which occurs when someone who HAS NOT EARNED authorship according to disciplinary standards is added to the list of authors of a manuscript
