Academic collaboration

A shareable research workspace, separate from the public observatory.

SCC Vaping keeps the public website publication-safe while maintaining a governed collaboration area for academics, reviewers and research partners. The collaboration pack is designed to make the project inspectable without exposing private credentials, working notes or unreviewed conclusion-sensitive material.

Google Drive permissions control access to non-public collaboration material.

Collaboration pack

What we will maintain for academic scrutiny

Each item should be dated, versioned and traceable to the evidence or workflow that produced it.

01

Current research pack

A concise current-state bundle: project synopsis, status, principal findings, limitations, provenance and the next review questions.

02

Reports

Release reports, audit reports, methodology summaries, reviewer responses and dated progress reports in PDF and editable formats where appropriate.

03

Studies & evidence

Study registers, evidence cards, trial-publication links, extraction status and citation metadata for the literature under review.

04

Methods & protocols

Review protocol, inclusion logic, provenance rules, classification safeguards, quality gates and reproducibility notes.

05

Data & exports

Shareable, non-sensitive CSV/JSON extracts and manifests that allow independent checking of the public evidence outputs.

06

PDF & paper library

Open-access or otherwise lawfully shareable papers may be stored directly; restricted publications should be represented by citation, DOI and source links rather than copied unlawfully.

Separation of concerns

Three layers, one evidence chain

The aim is collaboration without weakening the publication firewall.

01

Private research

Collection, validation, reviewer events and working material remain in the private research repository.

02

Academic collaboration

Selected reports, study material, protocols and reproducible exports are shared through the governed Drive workspace.

03

Public observatory

Only publication-safe evidence, methods, provenance and review-readiness information is deployed publicly.

04

Versioned release

Every public or academic release should record its date, source commit and evidence manifest so it can be reconstructed.

Review principle: access to more material does not imply that a finding is synthesis-ready. Automated classifications and unreviewed extraction remain provisional until the documented human review gates are satisfied.
