Selection of Topics and Authors
Calls for Topics
Guide topics are selected by YOU!
A survey is distributed bi-annually. Suggestions are reviewed by STLHE and selected based on the following criteria:
- the topic’s relevance to community’s current needs as well as the living plan;
- the scope and intention of the guides (i.e., exploring topics foundational to ED practice);
- the focus, depth, and clarity of the suggested topic(s); and
- the topic’s readiness for development (e.g., clear concepts, initial work underway by members of the ED community).
Most recent call for topics was August 2019.
Submission of a suggested topic does not guarantee selection.
Calls for Expressions of Interest
Once topics are selected, we distribute an invite for expressions of interest from national teams of authors. We invite proposals that include:
- authors’ names, biographies, and CVs;
- team members’ experience with the particular topic;
- intended focus of the guide; and
- a sample outline indicating overall structure and main themes addressed.
