Step 1: MPOG Manuscript Checklist
When your manuscript is ready to be circulated to the PCRC, fill out the MPOG Manuscript checklist. This checklist includes running the manuscript through a plagiarism detection software. Send the completed checklist with a copy of your manuscript and name of the intended journal to mpog-research@med.umich.edu.
The MPOG Central team will send a copy of the manuscript, approved PCRC proposal, and the link for a Qualtrics collaborator survey to active MPOG sites. This allows members of the PCRC to review your manuscript to ensure that it meets the aims of your approved proposal, and provide suggestions for any final improvements to the manuscript. Additionally, the Qualtrics survey allows PCRC members to voice their interest in being listed as a collaborator, and attest to meeting at least one International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) criteria as described below.
