“…This survey, similar to a previous survey five years prior, has shown that over 90% of trainees achieve success by meeting the required standard at their first attempt to submit their paper, which is a wonderful result and a credit to the trainees and their mentors . By comparison, less than half of surgical trainees achieve publication of projects that they present at their conferences . They cite a lack of inspirational role models, poor research culture and a lack of funding as potential barriers in their system.…”

In this issue of the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology (JMIRO), Elizabeth Foley and Daniel Roos 1 provide valuable data that enable us to critically appraise the role of an important component of radiation oncology training, the research project. The training programme includes a requirement that the trainee undertakes an original research project and must complete it to the point where the report is of a sufficient standard that it can accepted for review in a suitable journal. The educational goals of the requirement are to demonstrate an understanding of the research and peer-review process so that trainees can critically appraise published research and can contribute to ongoing research. Not all radiation oncologists will participate in research but all radiation oncologists will need to use the results of research throughout their careers. Is the research project suitable preparation? Does the current form of assessment adequately serve the educational goals?The Faculty of Radiation Oncology of the RANZCR has always had a significant focus on research and has made many major contributions to international literature. The Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group alone has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers in the last 30 years. Those that have made the most significant impact have often addressed major questions in common cancers using rigorous methodology and have been published in high-impact scientific journals. Of course, these projects were not undertaken at trainee level and were not the first project that the primary authors had ever published. They had to start somewhere and be trained by someone.To achieve such a high level of performance requires many preparatory training steps. To gain experience at conceiving, designing, undertaking, completing and publishing a project also involves understanding the state of the art, developing a supportive team with the right mix of skills, time management and an understanding of the peer-review publication process. The research project brings the trainee into direct contact with many people with relevant experience, including their own consultant, their departmental director of training, other consultants with an interest in the topic, those with statistical expertise, those with experience at writing papers, the editorial team and peer reviewers. It may be difficult for

“…Of the 18,642 records captured by our search strategy, 59 studies met the inclusion criteria. 12–70 The main reason for excluding articles was that the collaboration was not for the purpose of research. For example, some frameworks described collaboration for purposes of capacity building or sharing data and biobanks.…”

Purpose To review the literature on health research collaborations by academic entities and to identify the main phases, components, and concepts of these research collaborations. Method The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature, searching 4 databases in March 2022 for studies on health research collaboration between an academic entity (individual, group, or institution) and any other entity included. They excluded non–health-related studies and studies in which collaboration was not for the purpose of research. From included studies, reviewers abstracted data about the 4 main phases of research collaborations (initiation, conduct, monitoring, and evaluation) and synthesized their corresponding components and concepts using thematic analysis method. Results A total of 59 studies met inclusion criteria. These studies described building research collaborations between an academic entity and other academic entities (n = 29; 49%), communities (n = 28; 47%), industry (n = 7; 12%), and/or governmental entities (n = 4; 7%). Of the 59 studies, 22 addressed 2 phases of collaboration, 20 addressed 3 phases, and 17 addressed all 4 phases. All included studies described at least 1 of the components relevant to the initiation phase and at least 1 relevant to the conduct phase. Team structure was the most common component discussed in relation to the initiation phase (n = 48; 81%), and team dynamics was the most common component discussed in relation to the conduct phase (n = 55; 93%). At least 1 of the components relevant to the monitoring phase was reported in 36 studies, and at least 1 component relevant to the evaluation phase was reported in 28 studies. Conclusions This review provides important information for groups aiming to engage in collaborative research. The synthesized list of collaboration phases and their components can serve as a road map for collaborators at different steps of their research.
