Dissemination plans {31a}
The results will be communicated by presentation and publication. The two CRGs will provide guidance on the best methods of dissemination of information to participants and the wider CF community. The Steering Committee will coordinate dissemination of data (including from any nested sub-studies), endeavoring to make any conclusions broadly available to the CF community as soon as possible. The Steering Committee will, as far as possible, make the protocol(s), statistical analysis plans, and participant-level data available in order to allow independent scientific scrutiny and validation of any published results. All investigators will have the opportunity to review publications (e.g., manuscripts, abstracts, oral/slide presentations, book chapters) prior to submission. Authorship will be determined in line with the uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Any additional processes or requirements for reporting the results of nested sub-studies will be outlined in their relevant subprotocols.
