Project outputs

In addition to the journal series, the HTA programme actively encourages research teams to generate their own project outputs.

We require research teams to inform us about all published work: written, audio/visual and electronic. We do not seek to suppress or alter your plans for publication, but it is important that we make the Department of Health aware, in advance, of published material. This is so that, if approached with a query about your work, the Department can provide an informed response. We require copies of all materials submitted for publication. We ask you to provide these at the time of submission or at least 28 days before the publication date, whichever is earlier.

Acknowledging funding

It is important to us that we are acknowledged as the funding source for the research we commission. All published material must contain an acknowledgement of funding and an appropriate disclaimer. Research teams are free to design their own forms of acknowledgement and disclaimer. The following templates are offered for consideration:

  • This project was funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme (project number xx/xx/xx) and will be published in full in Health Technology Assessment; Vol. [x], No. [x]. See the HTA programme website for further project information.
  • The views and opinions expressed therein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Health.

We are also happy for you (or other journals) to make HTA journal issues available via your own website, by linking to the HTA website. To arrange to set up links, please email us at hta@hta.ac.uk

After research

Even after your project has finished, it is still important for us to track outputs from your research. This helps us to be aware of the dissemination of your project and to be able to raise general awareness of your published results through our own communications work. Please continue to let us know about outputs and provide us with copies of any published material.

Publication notification form

When you supply us with notification of a project output and a copy of the output, we also encourage you to provide us with a publication notification form. This highlights the information that we need.
