Proceso de publicación

Opimec ha intentado aunar por un lado la facilidad de inclusión de contenidos por usuarios propia de herramientas de la llamada web 2.0 y por otro lado un proceso ágil de revisión de ciertos contenidos que permitan mantener la calidad de los mismos. Esto se traduce en que para contenidos como noticias, directamente se publiquen sin intervención del equipo editorial.

Para el resto de contenidos, una vez dicho contenido es registrado en Opimec, éste ha de completar una serie de pasos: inicialmente, el contenido está en "Borrador" ("Draft"). Mientras esté en este primer paso o "estado", el equipo editorial no tomará en cuenta este contenido, ya que el autor puede estar modificándolo. Una vez el autor del contenido estime que el contenido está lo bastante completo, habrá de pulsar el botón que lleva el contenido al siguiente paso "Disponible para publicación y revisión" ("Available for publication and reviewing").  Es en este punto cuando el equipo editorial comienza su labor de valoración y revisión del contenido. Si este contenido es de calidad suficiente, el contenido será "Publicado" ("Published"), de modo que ya estaria visible para cualquier usuario que acceda a la plataforma Opimec. Si el contenido ha de ser completado por su autor, pasará a "No publicado" ("unpublished"). En este punto, se habrá de establecer una comunicación entre el autor y el equipo editorial para completar el contenido de manera que pueda empezar de nuevo el proceso de publicación.

En la siguiente figura se muestra los estados o pasos por los que pasa cualquier contenido en OPIMEC antes de ser publicado (en inglés).

OPIMEC development of actions have been identified in OPIMEC maintain a leadership position in the field of complex chronic diseases, preserve and promote a culture of continuous improvement, efficiency, excellence and innovation, and develop and promote participation of people , teams and organizations.

These actions raised the creation of an editorial team to guide and support OPIMEC to ensure scientific and technical quality of its content and the participation of the Community.

In this sense, this proposal attempts to define the functions, organization and composition of the editorial team.

The 2 main functions to be performed by the editorial team are:

i. Definition and support on the identification, selection and display of OPIMEC content

ii. Defining and supporting the creation and revitalization of the OPIMEC Community.

The content editing circuit is proposed: the editorial team would receive the content to be submitted for publication by OPIMEC members, declare its acceptance or rejection in the first instance, would select external reviewers in the case of practices and organizations , and ultimately decide its publication or not.

Would require the power to order and content for publication, which does not release that are reviewed by external reviewers.

The editorial team members and organizations that present practices for web publishing of OPIMEC not eligible for review. The outcome of the review will be made public and if positive will determine its immediate publication. In case of refusal or absence of consensus, the Executive Committee who will decide on its publication or definifiva.

The relations between creators, reviewers, readers and members of Team OPIMEC editorial remit.

The editorial team should be guided by protocols established and their own judgments about unforeseen issues, taking its decisions by a majority of its members. In case of urgency, the project coordinator may decide on the contents of the Web.

The editorial board is a body that is autonomous in its fields of competence, but must report their activity to the Executive Committee OPIMEC.

The editorial team members must be discharged in OPIMEC platform. Form a team which will have a Community OPIMEC semi shared work space (http://www.opimec.org/equipos/equipo-edi...). This space will be boosted by the editorial team coordinator with the support of the person managing the Web.

El equipo editorial orienta y apoya a OPIMEC en asegurar la calidad científico-técnica de sus contenidos y la participación de la Comunidad.

El circuito de edición de contenidos es: el Equipo editorial recibe los contenidos que se presenten para su publicación por parte de los miembros de OPIMEC; decide su aceptación o rechazo en primera instancia; selecciona revisores externos en el caso de prácticas y organizaciones; y decide en última instancia su publicación o no. Tiene potestad para solicitar y requerir contenidos para su publicación, lo cual no exime que sean revisados por los revisores externos.

Los miembros del Equipo editorial que presenten prácticas u organizaciones para su publicación en la Web de OPIMEC no podrán participar en su revisión. El resultado de la revisión será pública y si es positiva determinará su publicación inmediata. En caso de ser negativa o no haber consenso, será el Comité ejecutivo quien decidirá acerca de su publicación o no definifiva.
