As well as the core tasks of overseeing copyediting, proofreading, and putting issues together, a great deal of my time is spent communicating with authors, freelancers, typesetters, printers, academic editors, and internal colleagues: answering their queries, dealing with any problems that arise, supplying feedback, reporting on progress.
Readers could hardly wait to read the next chapter, and now Wattpad not only offers this ability for any writer, but the social reading component allows fans to communicate with the authors directly.
We attempted to communicate with the authors of all published population-based studies.
We will actively communicate with the authors and researchers of these trials to ensure that the individual patient data can be collected and synthesised as completely as possible.
We checked further available data when readily available, such as in supplementary tables online [ 25] but we did not communicate with the authors to obtain missing data.
Second, we will actively contact and communicate with the authors and researchers of included RCTs and invite them to participate in this study and to offer data as completely as possible.
Although we will actively communicate with the authors and researchers to collect the raw data as completely as possible, there is still a possibility that the raw data will be incomplete.
This limited our ability to explore the different approaches of the assay protocols, the efficiency of the interventions used and participant characteristics to assist direct comparison and possible attempts to communicate with the authors for further clarification were abandoned due to the restricted contact information published at that point.
I felt like the blog gave me a chance to communicate with the author, that I would not have otherwise with just the book.
Systematic reviewers require the ability to communicate with the study authors to seek clarifications and/or additional data, making the need to contact investigators even more critical for unpublished studies.
Communicate with your fellow authors.
