Abstract

BACKGROUND

Authorship teams in the health professions are typically composed of scholars who are acquainted with one another before a manuscript is written. Even if a scholar has identified a diverse group of collaborators outside their usual network, writing an article with a large number of co-authors poses significant logistical challenges.

OBJECTIVE

This paper describes a novel method for establishing and facilitating large-scale manuscript collaborations via social media.

METHODS

On September 11, 2020, I used the social media platform Twitter to invite people to collaborate on an article I had drafted. Anyone who wanted to collaborate was welcome, regardless of discipline, specialty, title, country of residence, or degree completion. During the 25 days that followed, I used Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Forms to manage all aspects of the collaboration.

RESULTS

The collaboration resulted in the completion of 2 manuscripts in a 25-day period. The International Council of Medical Journal Editors authorship criteria were met by 40 collaborators for the first article ("Documenting Social Media Engagement as Scholarship: A New Model for Assessing Academic Accomplishment for the Health Professions") and 35 collaborators for the second article ("The Benefits of Using Social Media as a Health Professional in Academia"). The authorship teams for both articles were notably diverse, with 17%-18% (7/40 and 6/35, respectively) of authors identifying as a person of color and/or underrepresented minority, 37%-38% (15/40 and 13/35, respectively) identifying as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, queer and/or questioning), 73%-74% (29/40 and 26/35, respectively) using she/her pronouns, and 20%-23% (9/40 and 7/35, respectively) identifying as a person with a disability.

CONCLUSIONS

Scholars in the health professions can use this paper in conjunction with the tools provided to replicate this process in carrying out their own large-scale manuscript collaborations.

摘要

背景

医疗专业的作者团队通常由在撰写手稿之前就相互熟悉的学者组成。即使学者在其通常的网络之外确定了一群多样化的合作者，与大量合著者一起撰写文章也会带来重大的后勤挑战。

目的

本文描述了一种通过社交媒体建立和促进大规模手稿合作的新方法。

方法

2020 年 9 月 11 日，我使用社交媒体平台 Twitter 邀请人们合作撰写我起草的一篇文章。任何有合作意愿的人都欢迎参与，无论其学科、专业、职称、居住国家或学位完成情况如何。在接下来的 25 天里，我使用 Google Docs、Google Sheets 和 Google Forms 来管理合作的各个方面。

结果

这次合作在 25 天内完成了 2 篇论文。第一篇文章（“记录社交媒体参与作为学术：健康专业学术成就评估的新模式”）的 40 位合著者符合国际医学期刊编辑委员会的作者标准，第二篇文章（“将社交媒体用作学术界的健康专业人士的好处”）的 35 位合著者符合该标准。这两篇文章的作者团队都非常多样化，其中 17%-18%（分别为 7/40 和 6/35）的作者为有色人种和/或少数族裔，37%-38%（分别为 15/40 和 13/35）的作者为 LGBTQ+（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、非传统性别、酷儿和/或疑问），73%-74%（分别为 29/40 和 26/35）的作者使用她/她的代词，20%-23%（分别为 9/40 和 7/35）的作者为残障人士。
