Publication Requirements: Notification & Attribution
The Health Services Research and Development Service (HSR&D) has established the following requirements regarding notification of pending publications and presentations:
Notification Process
Please let us know as soon as you have an article accepted for publication. This applies to all publications based on an HSR&D-funded, or HSR&D-managed project, or authored/coauthored by an HSR&D-supported investigator, regardless of funding source. Early notification allows us to prepare briefing materials for VA leadership and plan for other dissemination. See VHA Handbook 1204.5a (27 KB, MS Word) for more details.
Please send an e-mail to VHACOHSRD@va.gov and research.publications@va.gov and include the following information:
- Name of journal that will publish the article
-
Anticipated publication date
- Funding source (if HSR&D funded, include project number)
- Attach an electronic copy of the accepted Manuscript
- Let us know if you anticipate any press/publicity about the article, and attach any press releases
We strictly adhere to embargoes put in place by the journals. Let us know if your article has an embargo date.
Once published, we'll include your article citation in HSR&D's online citation database, and may highlight important findings in a variety of
print and electronic publications.

Attribution
In addition to early notification, VA expects acknowledgement on all articles, books, chapters, presentation slides, press releases, oral presentations, radio or TV spots, etc. It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure VA acknowledgement. VA should be first (before academic affiliation) on all VA funded research or for research conducted by an investigator that receives salary support from VA. Proper VA attribution recognizes VA and the many contributions and scientific rigor of VA investigators. Lack of acknowledgement of VA support could jeopardize future VA funding.
Disclaimer
When publishing or disseminating research findings be sure to acknowledge that your findings do not necessarily reflect VA policy. See sample disclaimer below:
"The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs."
