  5. References: Cite credible sources for any data or research mentioned. We prefer AMA formatting for citations.

We prioritize the voices of those who serve on our technology advisory board and reserve the right to remove mention of a specific vendor, when appropriate. Disclose any interest or advisory positions, including employment or PR representation. Submissions should be appropriate for community benefit, and volunteer work is prioritized.
