The following requirements have been developed to support and facilitate dissemination of outcomes from the work completed by the Nurse of the Future Competency (NOFC) Committee. They have been adapted from another source1 and reflect conventional publication guidelines as outlined in the referenced materials. These requirements pertain to the work of the Competency Committee only (see Appendix 1).

Publications All publications pertaining to work completed during the conduct of this project or to information, data, and outcomes obtained during its course must include the following statement:

Preparation of this manuscript was supported by funding from the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and the Johnson & Johnson Promise of Nursing for Massachusetts Nursing School Grant Program. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent official views of the funding agencies.

All manuscripts pertaining to this project must be reviewed and approved by the current co-chairs2 of the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education NOFC Committee prior to submission for publication. Final sign-off for approval will be the responsibility of the current co-chairs of the NOFC Committee.

Authorship credit for manuscripts shall be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of outcomes; 2) drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for intellectual content; 3) final approval of the version to be published, and 4) ability to explain and defend the work in public or scholarly settings.3 Authorship order for the primary publication (see Appendix 2)

Revised 09 28 11 2 pertaining to the original project design, competencies model, methodology, and principal outcomes will be as follows: Maureen Sroczynski, Paulette Seymour-Route, Gayle L. Gravlin, Nancy Hoffart, and Patricia Creelman, with acknowledgement of the NOFC Committee. The five named authors represent the organizations contributing to the project: Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, Massachusetts Association of Colleges of Nursing, Massachusetts Organization of Nurse Executives (practice and education), and Massachusetts-Rhode Island League for Nursing. The other NOFC Committee members will be acknowledged, in alphabetical order, as significant contributors (see Appendix 1).

Authorship for all secondary publications (See Appendix 2) pertaining to any component of the project will be by negotiation among the proposed authors and with approval of the current co-chairs early in the collaborative endeavor. Ordering will be based on extent of participation in manuscript development and on ownership of ideas contained within. Co-authors of all manuscripts are expected to participate in the formulation of ideas or in writing of the paper sufficiently enough to assure they are able to defend it if challenged in public or scholarly settings.4

If the manuscript is to be published in a journal that, by policy, limits the number of co- authors, the name of the committee, “Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nurse of the Future Competency Committee,” will be identified as the author. A footnote containing the names of the committee members, in alphabetical order, will be used to identify those who contributed to the paper.

Should a dispute arise over who has a right to be an author or the order of authorship for secondary papers, the current NOFC Committee co-chairs will resolve the disagreement through collegial consultation with the other authors.5

For individuals who have participated in a limited manner in the development of ideas or in carrying out the NOFC Committee’s activities, acknowledgements for secondary publications may be appropriate. Acknowledgement is not automatic, however, and is dependent upon extent of involvement and will be decided by the primary author(s) and confirmed through discussion with the NOFC Committee member(s) who is (are) being acknowledged. Merely participating in the project at some point in its undertaking is not

Access to Project Materials for Secondary Use Data collected during the NOFC project is the property of the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative. Access to data for a secondary use or analysis will be by written permission of the current NOFC co-chairs. Secondary use is defined as the analysis of preexisting data (i.e. data collected by the NOFC Committee) to answer different questions than the questions answered by the NOFC Committee, or analyzed in a different way than the NOFC Committee analyzed the data. The proposal for secondary use will be submitted to the DHE on the “Project Materials Tracking and Permission” form (located on the DHE Nursing Initiative web site) and will include the purpose of the project, the questions proposed and the analysis procedures intended. Approval for access will be granted in writing by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative after the request is reviewed and approved by the NOFC Committee co-chairs. Data used in the secondary analysis will remain the property of the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative and no additional analyses may be performed without the Initiative’s prior approval.

Data collected by DHE grantees that are separate and distinct from NOFC project deliverables will be the property of the grantees involved. Acknowledgement of the funding agencies and the NOFC Committee is expected in all publications and presentations resulting from the data collection.
