COVID-19 related resources
To maximise the use and impact of the new 2021/22 COVID-19 data, we have prepared a special Call for Papers to encourage and support network members to develop ideas for novel, high-impact publications using the new data.
Members who want to take part in the COVID-19 call for international papers should first complete the expression of interest form and return it to icc@hbsc.org by 17.00 (UK time) on the 30th of June.
Publication planning
Authorship guidelines, approved by the PI Assembly at the Spring 2018 meeting, which apply to all international publications using HBSC data (including open access data) which are authored by HBSC members.
Network members should use the planned publications database to register all planned international scientific publications, including journal articles, book chapters, and PhD or Masters theses.
International Report, 40th anniversary and elections
As a result of the likely data delays, the Coordinating Committee discussed a new more flexible model for the next International Report (March 2022). This will be discussed in more detail at the Spring 2022 meeting in Padua.
HBSC will celebrate its 40th-anniversary in 2023, supporting information can be found in this paper.
