Preparation of this supplement, Ten years of improvement innovation in cystic fibrosis care, tested a strategy to support writing and scholarly publication by cystic fibrosis (CF) healthcare improvement professionals.
Critical elements of the writing initiative included: a request for abstracts that was distributed to over 2000 professionals in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-supported improvement community to identify promising work; continuous peer review of manuscripts by co-authors and writing tutors; three webinars and a 2-day face-to-face writing retreat that addressed the challenges of successful scholarly healthcare improvement writing and publication; and finally, journal submission and formal external peer review. The SQUIRE Publication Guidelines provided content framework for manuscripts.
47 abstracts were submitted from which reviewers selected nine for participation. The 28 co-authors of these abstracts took part in the writing initiative. Authors' self-assessment showed that half had previously published fewer than five papers, while 80% considered themselves insufficiently prepared to write for the scholarly improvement literature. Eventually all of the nine abstracts led to full manuscripts, which were submitted to the journal for formal peer review. Of these, seven were accepted for publication and are included in this supplement.
A formal initiative to develop and support scholarly writing-while resource-intensive-offers opportunities for wider publication by healthcare improvement professionals.
本增刊的编写检验了一项支持囊性纤维化（CF）医疗保健改善专业人员撰写和学术发表的策略。该策略对囊性纤维化护理改善创新十年进行测试。
撰写计划的关键要素包括：向超过 2000 名囊性纤维化基金会支持的改善社区的专业人员分发撰写摘要的请求，以确定有前途的工作；由合著者和写作导师对稿件进行持续的同行评审；三次网络研讨会和为期两天的面对面写作务虚会，解决成功的学术医疗保健改善写作和出版方面的挑战；最后是期刊提交和正式的外部同行评审。SQUIRE 出版指南为稿件提供了内容框架。
从提交的 47 份摘要中，评审员选择了 9 份进行参与。这 9 份摘要的 28 位合著者参与了撰写计划。作者的自我评估显示，有一半人以前发表的论文少于 5 篇，而 80%的人认为自己没有充分准备好为学术改善文献撰写文章。最终，这 9 份摘要都写成了完整的手稿，并提交给期刊进行正式的同行评审。其中，有 7 篇被接受发表，并收录在本增刊中。
虽然资源密集型，但正式的学术写作计划为医疗保健改善专业人员提供了更广泛的发表机会。
