Prof Don Enarson,
Editor-in Chief,
Public Health Action
Sub: Fast track writing of a scientific paper with 40 authors how to do it?
Dear Prof Enarson,
As you very well know, it is always challenging and time consuming to write manu
scripts of multi-centric/ multi-site projects which involve numerous authors. He
re in this Notes from the field we describe a process adopted in India whereby we
were able to write a fairly advanced draft of a scientific manuscript involving
nearly 30 authors from 13 sites from varied backgrounds (such has Programme mana
gers of National, state and district levels, Professors of Medical colleges, rep
uted international technical experts from organizations such as WHO, The Union,
World Diabetes Foundation) in a matter of 3 days. All these authors fulfilled th
e authorship criteria as per the International Committee of Medical Journal Edit
ors.
This Notes from the field will be helpful for co-ordinators of multi-centric / mul
tisite projects on how to go about drafting a manuscript, obtain concurrence fro
m all co-authors and submit the manuscript to a peer reviewed scientific journal
within a fairly short timeframe.
Since, PHA actively encourages, communicates and reports new knowledge, dialogue
and controversy in public health practice, we believe that it is the most appro
priate journal to disseminate our experience and stimulate thinking/discussions
on this important aspect.
We hope to have your favorable consideration,
Sincerely,

Sub: Submission of our paper under Call for papers on Endgame of tobacco
Dear Drs. Freeman & Robbins,
Greetings.
I had corresponded with you last month and you had encouraged me to submit a man
uscript on endgame for tobacco control. Please find attached our manuscript. Th
is Commentary has also been submitted through online submission and has the concur
rence from all co-authors.
Since, JPHP actively encourages, communicates and reports new knowledge, dialogu
e and controversy in public health practice, we believe that it is the most appr
opriate journal to disseminate our experience and stimulate thinking/discussions
on this important aspect. We presente a different perspective on endgame and pr
ovide the first steps which governments need to put in place before considering
strategies that are currently being discussed in tobacco's endgame debate. We ho
pe you find our paper of relevance for the journal's readers and will encourage
discussion.
We hope to have your favorable consideration,
Sincerely,
Pranay Lal
