ALERT

ATTENTION ⚠️

Some institutions were affected last week with having their billing files sent from iLab to their financial system. This has been resolved and files were sent, as one, from iLab to the institution financial system over the weekend. Going forward, files will post as normal, during the regular times that were built with your custom financial integration. If there are any issues with your billng file, open a new help ticket, by clicking on Help at the top right of your account page or by emailing ilab-support@agilent.com.

X Biostatistics Collaboration and Consulting Core (BCCC)

Overview of Services

 

The primary objective of the Biostatistics Collaboration and Consulting Core (BCCC) is to ensure that the appropriate use of statistical methodology is incorporated in research. This enhances the University’s scientific mission in ensuring appropriate planning for research, including the use of statistical methodology. BCCC personnel are available for collaboration at all stages of research, including but not limited to preparation of grants and contracts, study design, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. Obtaining biostatistical collaboration as early as possible in development of a research project increases the quality of the research, and the likelihood of success in obtaining extramural funds, and meeting study objectives.

The BCCC offers short and long term collaborative support activities, grant development, and quick consulting to faculty, staff, and students, and operates as a cost center. 

 

Authorship Policy

 

Co-authorship on scientific journal articles is generally expected on studies where substantive input on design and/or analysis is provided. The contribution of each person needs to be evaluated as a manuscript is prepared. Consideration for authorship should be based on the accepted criteria for most medical journals. These criteria generally cite both study design and statistical analysis as intellectual input sufficient for authorship. It is impossible to define every situation in advance; however, it should be clear that reimbursement for time does not preclude or replace authorship. For more information, please refer to the edicts set forth in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, http://www.icmje.org/ethical_1author.html.
