Is the AERD operated as a form of Wiki?
NO. In a wiki, any individual has the ability to alter the publicly displayed record. In databases such as the AERD information on publicly submitted
antisera records are first scrutinized by the central authoring Authority. In many cases are subsequently analyzed by additional investigators
prior to their release into the public database.
I have information I wish to submit, but I have a problem/question. Can I talk to someone / get assistance with my submissions?
For laboratories submitting in the greater Toronto area, individuals can contact the registry coordinator at: AERD@phm.utoronto.ca, for assitance with the submission process.
Where is the data I just submitted? I do not see it in the public query?
Submission are examined by the authoring Authority prior to inclusion in the public database.
This typically takes 48 hours and often involves contacting the submitting laboratory.
What is the simplest way to make multiple submissions for anti-sera with similar experimental conditions?
The simplest way to make multiple submissions is to fill out the first entry, hit the "Submit" button and the "back to main page" button on the following page (this ensures record submission). Double clicking the "Back" button on your browser will then take you back to the original record you submitted. Change any fields needed and repeat this procedure for as many entries as necessary (your submitted records will NOT be overwritten). Alternatively we are happy send local fillable forms for users making multiple submissions.
I have a tech problem / submission suggestion for the registry. Whom can I contact?
Individuals can contact Dr. Henderson directly: jeff.henderson@utoronto.ca
