HI Everyone, 

Thanks for calling into the meeting yesterday. Below is what I believe we agreed upon about the paper and how to move forward. Please feel free to suggest changes, or comment if your understanding was different.

Helen

The goal of the paper is to synthesize into one comprehensive report the conclusions of the analyses of BES-I and those available from BES-II at the time of publication. 

The paper will be an official STAR paper that uses the whole STAR author list when it is submitted. The goal will be to submit to some “review” type journal. Since the paper will be an official publication in a peer reviewed journal we will only use published data. No preliminary STAR data will be used as per our publication policies.

The paper will be written by a committee consisting of STAR collaborators in a similar fashion to the BUR. The committee will be lead by Helen, as the co-spokes of STAR, with other individuals taking the lead to draft each subsection. 

Since this review article will include only published data that have already been reviewed by the collaboration/GPCs we will not require a GPC for this paper, rather, as for the BUR, the text etc will be “internally” reviewed by other members of writing committee. We will however release the paper to the collaboration for an extended review period since it is expected that this article will be rather long.

We will invite specific people to join the writing committee, but also extend an open invitation to all of STAR. We will particularly reach out to some junior members of STAR who are active in the BES analyses.

The committee will report progress on the paper to the collaboration regularly with the goal of submitting the paper November 2022. To this end we will aim to get the committee running ASAP with a “kick off” presentation at the up-coming analysis meeting
