WikiMSK:Peer Review Process

Content may be published in an unfinished form, and this is encouraged. Articles have an indicator on the top right as to their level of completeness. Quarter circle articles are called stubs, half circles are partially finished, and three quarter circles are complete. The aim is for complete articles to then be peer reviewed, and these articles are indicated with a green circle, with the date of review, and a box with the peer review details at the top. These articles may still be changed, but readers can refer back to the older version that was reviewed.

Disagreements

In the event of a disagreement about the content, the lead and deputy editors have the final say but it is preferred to denote where there was a disagreement.

Accuracy

None of the authors, contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with WikiMSK in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.

Conflict of Interest

Conflict of interests refer to all commercial, financial, and other relationships relevant to the content of an article or articles. Bring an NZAMM member and working in Musculoskeletal Medicine are not considered significant conflicts of interest.

The lead and deputy editors are required to disclose any conflict of interests on their user pages.

At the time of peer review of an article, the peer reviewer(a) and primary author(a) are required to disclose any conflicts of interest. This can either be listed on their user page or in the article being reviewed.

The primary author or authors are those users who have contributed significantly to the content of the article. Primary authors are required to disclose conflicts of interest at the time of peer review. This can occur either on their user pages or in the article being reviewed.

For non-primary authors, a conflict of interest statement is not required, but encouraged.

Identity and Credentials

All user account applicants are verified as being eligible (members of NZAMM) by the lead editor. The NZAMM has a detailed vetting process for membership which requires relevant credentials.

For standard users, it is up to the user whether they want to publicly display their full name and details in their user pages.

All peer reviewers are required to disclose their full name. Peer reviewers must be fellows of the NZAMM.

Public disclosure of identity and credentials is mandatory for the Lead and Deputy Editors.
