Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
How is the quality of AERD database records maintained?
1. Publicly submitted entries to the database are analyzed by by the central archiving Authority prior to release into the public database.
2. Entry submissions are provided with a "laboratory reporting" tag (released to public database), together with a contact e-mail (held privately),
to help track the quality of submissions from individual investigators and/or clinical laboratories.
3. The AERD accepts NO support, directly or indirectly from ANY commercial vendor.
4. Records which read "Henderson" under the "lab reporting" tag have been directly tested and analyzed at the MIH Core facility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
