Guidelines
Team Interactions
The interprofessional team should:
- Clearly identify roles at the beginning of and periodically during the collaboration
- Assign responsibilities based on individual and disciplinary capabilities
- Hold each participant accountable for their contribution
- Align each participant’s contribution with their competency, expertise and limitations
- Discourage discipline-centric views
- Regularly review the timeline and work progress
- Allocate resources on the team equitably
- Maximize participation by avoiding time conflicts
- Ensure all participants have an equal opportunity to voice their participation
- Reframe opposing views as an opportunity to clarify roles
Intellectual Attribution Guidelines
Any publication, presentation, or poster inspired by or completed under the umbrella of the Center for Interprofessional Health (CIH) must involve a CIH Co-Director and/or a CIH Core Faculty team member(s) as author unless all of the aforementioned choose to decline the opportunity to collaborate in the scholarship or research project proposed.
Any publication, presentation, or poster relating to an educational experience or tool created under the umbrella of the Center for Interprofessional Health must acknowledge the Center for Interprofessional Health. “This project implemented a teaching product/tool developed by the University of Minnesota Center for Interprofessional Health.”
If a CIH Co-Director or CIH Core Faculty team member is involved in a formal consultation with another group or individual, the team member must be a co-author on the resultant publication unless the team member declines the opportunity.
A project that uses data generated by the CIH to answer a research question must acknowledge the CIH on all publications. “This project analyzed data obtained from the University of Minnesota Center for Interprofessional Health.”
Authorship
The first author attribution should be for the person doing the most work on the manuscript and should be preferentially offered to the person who contributed the most to the research topic. The senior contributor should be the last author. Middle author positions should be established based on contributions to the work and/or on the manuscript.
For purposes of publication, all authors must take responsibility for at least one component of the work, should be able to identify who is responsible for each other component, and should be confident in their co-authors’ ability and integrity.
Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published.
Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgments section.
Ownership
According to the Board of Regents Policy on Commercialization of Intellectual Property Rights, the university is sole owner of all rights, titles and interests of technology created by university employees in the course of their employment. Curricula and evaluation tools are amongst the technology that are copyrightable and should be brought to the attention of the Office of Technology Commercialization before it is presented or discussed with others.
