Paper Submission Requirements

For any papers arising from OBS resources, a final draft of the paper needs to be submitted to the Ontario Birth Study Steering Committee at OntarioBirthStudy.MSH@sinaihealth.ca with the completed checklist below ahead of submission to a journal. Our turnaround time is 2 weeks from the receipt of the paper. If any material changes are made to the paper, it will need to be resubmitted to the OBS for another review.

The goals of the Steering Committee review are:

  1. Confirm the representation of the OBS is correct.
  2. Confirm the requirements we place for publishing are adhered to.

Please send your paper and a completed checklist to us ahead of journal submission.
