Further regulations

  1. In case of a scientific article by the EPOSA group:
  1. A maximum of3 co-authors from each country, and maximum four co-authors from the coordinating center in Amsterdam should be included in the article. First author countries may choose to include more than 3 co-authors up to a maximum of 5 co-authors. At the end of the authorship include: … “and the EPOSA group”.
  2. An opt-out option for co-authorship is possible for individual authors.
  3. The co-authors are listed in a sequence that makes it clear that the papers are collaborative efforts, so the second or third author is from a different country than the first.
  4. At least one draft of a paper is shared with the co-authors. When the paper is almost ready, it is sent to all co-authors AND the Coordinating Centre for a final check. This final check may include whether you agree with your co-authorship and affiliation.
  1. In case of a scientific article by EXTERNAL researchers:
  2. At least one co-author from each countryfrom the EPOSA-group should be included, with the possibility of an opt-out option.At the end of the authorship include: … “and the EPOSA group”.
  3. At least one co-author from the EPOSA-group will be assigned for quality control.
  4. At least one draft of a paper is shared with the EPOSA co-authors.When the paper is almost ready, it is sent to all co-authors for a final check.
  1. If during annual checking it turns out that the planned time schedule has not been achieved, the EPOSA publication committee contacts the principal investigator or first author to adjust the agreement. Possibly, a revised proposal will be requested.
  1. Data provided from EPOSA may be used for the research question described in this form only. If it is considered to address another research question using the same data, this should be approved first by the EPOSA publication committee.
  1. Financial support has to be mentioned in the Acknowledgements section. Also, in the Acknowledgements section, all EPOSA members have to be mentioned. If necessary, statisticians can be included.
