Publication Process

NOTICE: These instructions are accessible on the QIBA Wiki as a historical reference only! Independent Profile Authoring Groups are required to oversee the various developmental stages from Draft to Public Comment to Consensus based on the current QUIC endorsement criteria, found HERE: https://qibawiki.rsna.org/images/9/95/QUIC-Review-Criteria-for-New-Profiles-FINAL-v23SEPT2023.pdf.

When a Profile has been reviewed and approved for publication

• Authors
  • inform RSNA Staff that a profile is ready for publication
  • provide RSNA Staff with the Word document of the Profile
  • provide RSNA Staff with the Support Document (Excel, Google Sheet, etc.)
    • there is no support document required to publish for the Public Comment Stage

• Profile Authoring Group
  • checks the minutes of the Biomarker and Coordinating Committees to confirm the approval results
  • checks the title page and document title match the current stage and Profile naming guidance
  • generates a PDF of the Profile document provided by the authors
  • uploads the PDF document to the Wiki (Tip: Upload file)
  • adds a link to the Profiles page in the appropriate stage (Tip: copy an existing link to get the format)
