Publication Notification Process for VA Investigators
VA investigators or their local research offices are required to notify VHA Research Communications of all scientific publications or presentations, upon acceptance, in accordance with VHA Handbook 1200.19 (112 KB, PDF).
The basic requirement for notification is to email research.publications@va.gov (HSR&D investigators ONLY: also send an e-mail to VHACOHSRD@va.gov ) and provide the following information and attachments:
- Article or abstract title, along with an electronic copy of the abstract, manuscript or poster;
- VA investigators’ full names and degrees; and
- Journal or meeting title and date.
Optionally, you may also attach the following:
-
A brief lay summary of the findings; and
-
A note stating whether the findings are likely to be controversial, sensitive or particularly newsworthy, or whether they have especially important implications for VHA.
