Community Posting Guidelines
These spaces exist so your progress and achievements inspire the next person. A few ground rules keep this community safe and professional for everyone.
What to post
Your milestones: "I picked my case," "I finished my draft," "I just submitted," "It got accepted," "It's published."
One sentence about what moved you forward (a framework that clicked, a decision you made).
Your target journal or the type of case you are working on (without any patient details).
Questions about the research or publishing process.
What to never post
Patient data is the most serious boundary in this community. Before sharing anything, ask yourself: could this information identify a specific patient? If the answer is yes, or even maybe, do not post it. Never post any of the following:
Patient names, initials, or any combination of details that could identify a person.
Dates of birth, admission dates, or discharge dates.
Medical record numbers, accession numbers, or any institutional ID.
Hospital names, clinic names, or city names when they make a patient identifiable.
Clinical photos, radiologic images, or any file that contains patient metadata.
Diagnoses so specific or rare that they point to one individual.
Any text from a medical record, progress note, or operative report.
Acceptance letter and publication screenshots
If you are sharing your acceptance letter or a screenshot of your published article, cover every patient identifier before uploading. That includes the case title if it contains diagnostic details, any patient name or initials in the manuscript, and institutional or date information that narrows identification. If your manuscript or letter lists co-authors who are not part of this community or have not agreed to appear publicly, cover their names too. Blur, crop, or redact before posting. When in doubt, post only the journal name and a short celebration note.
Respecting each other
No medical advice. This community is about research and publishing skills, not clinical decisions.
No diagnoses, prognoses, or treatment recommendations in comments.
Disagreements are welcome; disrespect is not. Challenge ideas, not people.
No unsolicited promotion of courses, products, services, or outside communities.
Your work is your responsibility
Nothing in this community is medical advice or a rule you must follow. The milestones, the examples, the acceptance letters, and the published work shared by other students are here to motivate you, not to tell you how to treat a patient or run your study. Each member is solely responsible for their own work, their own submissions, and for following their institution's rules and the privacy laws that apply to them (HIPAA, LFPDPPP, GDPR, or local equivalent). What worked for one student may not apply to your case.
A note on use of your content
What you post is visible to all members. If The CR101 Team ever wants to use your achievement in external marketing materials, we will contact you directly for separate written consent. Posting here does not constitute that consent.
Critique the work, not the author, and respect copyright
When you respond to or disagree with a published paper, critique the methods, the evidence, and the conclusions only, never the authors as people. No personal characterizations of any researcher and no accusations about anyone's honesty, integrity, or competence. And never post copyrighted journal figures, tables, charts, or paper screenshots; cite the paper's facts and numbers in your own words instead.
