7  Publications

7.1 Authorship

We aim to discuss authorship early in the research process and have continuing conversations regarding team member roles. Plans can change and contributions may evolve over time. If you have authorship questions during the process of working on a project, we want you to feel empowered to ask these questions!

It is an expectation in the Lab that no new authors are invited to join an existing Lab project (i.e., where Dr. Rose is the lead PI) without the prior agreement of, at a minimum, Dr. Rose and the first author(s).

The Lab follows the ICMJE recommendations regarding who is included as an author.

7.2 Preprints

We typically post preprints on arXiv, medRxiv, or as an NBER Working Paper.

7.3 On Least Publishable Units

We aim to write papers with an appropriate scope suitable for the goals of the project. We do not focus on salami slicing or least publishable unit papers. This is not to confuse least publishable units with short, rigorous papers. Short papers can be good and high quality with strong standards.

7.4 Types of Papers

The structure and content of a manuscript varies by discipline and audience.

Example Lab publications by journal type: statistics, medical, health policy, health services research, health economics, epidemiology, computer science conference paper.

7.5 Journals

The journal lists below are not exhaustive and largely focus on outlets where Lab members have previously published their work. Decisions about where to submit manuscripts for publication are made collaboratively to balance the needs and priorities of the team with as much deference as possible to what is best for the trainee author(s). We also publish in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, see Section 6.2.
