the pandemic. Chapter authors range from 1 to a team of 7. On examining the chapters, with education in mind, we note that teaching transferred quickly from face to face to online learning and brought with it several challenges and opportunities. One common opportunity involves the use of videoconferencing, which seems to have become commonplace. Clinical placements were disrupted, and learning challenged, and various solutions had to be put into place to enable this form of learning to continue. Access to learning resources and learning was very challenging in some countries during the pandemic and this was especially true in situations where internet access was poor or even non-existent. New clinical skills had to be developed in challenging environments for mobile chest radiography imaging and other roles within the hospital and sometimes outside the radiology department. Some frustrations with accessing clinical resources (e.g. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)) is noted and the way in which COVID-19 vaccines have been administered to radiography staff could have been problematic if an unacceptable number of reactions had been encountered. Overall, it seems that many countries were not adequately prepared for the pandemic, both clinically and academically. A reflection on producing this book Given this is the first time the ISRRT has produced a free book we felt the need to reflect on the process which led to its production, to assist the ISSRT reach a decision on whether further books could be created on a similar basis. Following approval from the ISRRT to create the book, the ISRRT advertised the opportunity for its members to be a contributor (‘chapter author’) to encourage people to put themselves forwards with a view to writing. As editors, we made suggestions to indicate what chapters they might focus on (e.g. including clinical, personal, student, teacher, researcher, manager) – however these were only suggestions, and anybody could write anything they wanted within reason. Once potential authors had identified themselves, we sent them guidance on how they should approach writing. We indicated that the ‘writing style’ would be down to authors and dependent upon what they had to say, thus first and third person were equally valid, and references were only needed if a more academic approach was to be adopted. Authors had to sign a disclaimer about their chapter, prior to publication, indicating the need for previously published work not to be included and in the event of a figure / photograph / 12
image having been already published then they would be responsible for seeking formal copyright permission to republish it in this book from the ‘owner’ (see ‘author agreement disclaimer form’, below). Once chapter authors were identified we asked them to produce a simple bullet point list of the things they wished to include within their chapter. We then reviewed the lists and added comments for authors to consider as they developed their chapter. The process of commenting was completed again for penultimate versions of chapters, when Peter, Yudthaphon Vichianin and Stewart Whitley reviewed chapters and inserted track comments and track changes for authors to consider. Again, this was returned to the authors for them to consider when editing the final version of their chapter. When the final versions were returned, we reviewed chapters again, making final adjustments to prepare them for formatting into the book. The final edited versions were returned to authors to make sure they were happy and to request the author agreement form be signed. Unlike all other stages of writing and publishing, compiling the book into the formatted style is something we had no prior experience in as this is normally completed by a publishing company. This part of the development process was a step into the unknown for us and something that concerned us throughout the whole process. We considered several freely available software tools for publishing this book 1,2 and in the end we took a pragmatic approach, using the facilities within Word (Office 365) to create it. The final product was exported from Word and saved in .pdf format. Our reason for selecting Word was pragmatic - we know many people who use Word on a regular basis and because of this we could ask them for help and pointers. This was not the case for the free software options. However, the free software options appear to give a more professional finish and if ISRRT move forwards to produce further free books then it might be valuable to select one of them and develop expertise in using it. 13
