    Chapter 14: MD Anderson Publications and Publication Ethics

    No full text
    Dr. Goepfert has served on a number of editorial boards and is keenly interested in the educational dissemination of information critical to cancer research. In this section he talks about some of MD Anderson’s publications and also addresses some controversies with publication. He first raises the ethical issue of how authorship is assigned to a manuscript going out for publication. Today there are guidelines for assigning authorship, but twenty years ago, he explains, some department chairs at MD Anderson reviewed all manuscripts going for publication and insisted on being listed as first author of an article, whether they made any contribution to the research or not. Dr. Goepfert contrasts his own practice of putting his name on a paper only if he has contributed. Dr. Goepfert then shifts subjects and describes several MD Anderson educational publications, beginning with Cancer Bulletin, distributed free to all physicians across Texas.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/2010/thumbnail.jp

    Chapter 09: Strengthening Biomedical Editing Nationwide and Within MD Anderson

    No full text
    In this Chapter, first briefly notes his involvement with the Southwest Chapter of the American Medical Writer’s Association and the Council of Biology Editors (with a 22-year membership). He then explains that he had his biggest impact while he served on the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences and in the late 80s worked on the Editorial Certification Examination Development Committee. He describes the examination he helped create to certify competence for editors of biomedical articles and explains the significance of certification. He notes that the Department of Scientific Publications at MD Anderson uses its own battery of tests to evaluate editors’ abilities for abstract reasoning, grammar, and other skills and talents. Next, Mr. Pagel talks about his Department’s blog, “The Write Stuff,” and two significant projects: his role on the Historical Resources Center Steering Committee, and the development of panel discussions for the Department of Scientific Publications. To begin the discussion of the Steering Committee, he notes that Scientific Publications wrote The First Twenty Years, the first history of MD Anderson. Because of this association with the institution’s history, Mr. Pagel was asked to be part of the Steering Committee when the Historical Resources Center was formed and set as its first goal the publication of an updated institutional history. Mr. Pagel wanted the perspective to be broader than the first book, situating MD Anderson and cancer research in a larger context of other cancer institutions and the history of cancer research. Though not alone in holding this view, he says he had something to do with articulating it for the benefit of the Steering Committee. He describes how James Olsen was selected to be the author and notes other Steering Committee activities.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/2275/thumbnail.jp

    Chapter 09: Reflections on Dr. Clifton Mountain and Data Collection Roles at MD Anderson

    No full text
    Mrs. Hermes begins this chapter with memories of how much she enjoyed working for Dr. Mountain over the course of 25 years. He taught her how to think about data, she explains, and she was listed as an author on a number of publications on lung cancer [see examples below]. She explains that Dr. Mountain left MD Anderson in 1993, but she continued to work freelance for him. She recalls that he set up the first conference on mathematics at MD Anderson, early in his career sometime in the sixties. Next she comments on how the unique openness of Houston culture fit well with the bold visions that both R. Lee Clark and Eleanor MacDonald held for oncology. She says that her most important work was on Dr. Mountain’s staging system for lung cancer and she explains why staging the disease presented challenges. She confirms that she was always interested in the implications of basic research for clinical findings. She credits Eleanor MacDonald for helping her to develop her curiosity and questioning style.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/2036/thumbnail.jp
