Given the growth of interdisciplinary and community-engaged health promotion research, it has become increasingly common to conduct studies in diverse teams. While there is literature to guide collaborative research proposal development, data collection and analysis, little has been written about writing peer-reviewed publications collaboratively in teams. This gap is particularly important for junior researchers who lead articles involving diverse and community-engaged co-authors. The purpose of this article is to present a series of considerations to guide novice researchers in writing for peer-reviewed publication with diverse teams. The following considerations are addressed: justifying the value of peer-reviewed publication with non-academic partners; establishing co-author roles that respect expertise and interest; clarifying the message and audience; using the article outline as a form of engagement; knowledge translation within and beyond the academy; and multiple strategies for generating and reviewing drafts. Community-engaged research often involves collaboration with communities that have long suffered a history of colonial and extractive research practices. Authentic engagement of these partners can be supported through research practices, including manuscript development, that are transparent and that honour the voices of all team members. Ensuring meaningful participation and diverse perspectives is key to transforming research relationships and sharing new insights into seemingly intractable health problems.
鉴于跨学科和社区参与式健康促进研究的发展，在不同团队中开展研究已变得越来越普遍。虽然有文献指导合作研究提案的制定、数据收集和分析，但关于团队合作撰写同行评审出版物的内容却很少。对于领导涉及不同领域和社区参与的共同作者的文章的初级研究人员来说，这一差距尤为重要。本文的目的是提出一系列注意事项，以指导新手研究人员与不同团队合作撰写同行评审出版物。讨论了以下注意事项：向非学术合作伙伴说明同行评审出版物的价值；确立尊重专业知识和兴趣的共同作者角色；明确信息和受众；将文章大纲用作一种参与形式；在学术界内外进行知识转化；以及生成和审阅草稿的多种策略。社区参与式研究通常涉及与长期遭受殖民和剥削性研究做法历史的社区合作。可以通过包括稿件撰写在内的透明且尊重所有团队成员声音的研究实践，来支持这些合作伙伴的真正参与。确保有意义的参与和多元观点是转变研究关系以及分享对看似棘手的健康问题的新见解的关键。
