What the hub is for

The ICPCN Research Hub exists to connect, strengthen and coordinate children's palliative care research worldwide. It is run by the International Children's Palliative Care Network (ICPCN) as a professional community space for researchers, clinicians and students at every career stage, in every region.

Your account and profile

  • Sign in with your own email address and share where and how you work with the research community. If you are open to or seeking mentorship or collaboration, notify the community here. You can change this setting at any time.
  • New profiles are reviewed by ICPCN before appearing publicly. Later changes to the wording of an approved profile are reviewed too, and your profile stays listed with its approved details while that happens. ICPCN may decline or remove profiles that are not genuine or not appropriate for the hub.
  • You control your profile's visibility and can hide it, or ask for your account and data to be removed, at any time (see the privacy notice).

Community code

  • Be respectful and collegial. This is a small, global community that depends on trust: critique ideas, never people.
  • Collaborate equitably. The hub is committed to fair partnership between high-income and low- and middle-income settings, including in authorship and credit.
  • Never share identifiable patient or family information. Case details, images or data that could identify a child or family should not be shared through the hub.
  • No commercial solicitation. You can advertise research posts that may be of interest to the CPC research community, but not more general marketing or adverts.
  • Represent your work honestly. Claim only publications and affiliations that are yours.

Moderation and changes

ICPCN administers the hub, moderates profiles and content, and may update these terms as the hub develops. Significant changes will be noted on this page. If you have questions, or want to report content or behaviour that concerns you, see About & help for how to reach the team.
