SGMA-GOV-PP-001 is a public governance framework for publications and presentations arising from clinical research that implements SGMA population standards. It governs authorship, terminology, methodology reporting, review, and approval for manuscripts, abstracts, oral presentations, posters, and other scientific communications.
Any research team working with SGMA’s population standards — whether or not SGMA is a named collaborator — may adopt this document directly. It is intended to be referenced in grant applications, collaboration agreements, and manuscript submissions as the governing publications and presentations standard for the collaboration.
