Are there any limitations on the kinds of feedback we can/should get before submitting? For example, is it okay to: - Get feedback from an OpenPhil staff member? - Publish on the forum, get feedback, and make edits before submitting a final draft? - Submit an unpublished piece of writing which has previously been reviewed?
If so, should reviewers be listed in order to provide clarity on input? Or omitted to avoid the impression of an “endorsement”?
All of those things are ok. Open Phil staff shouldn’t be listed as co-authors since they are not eligible for the prizes. A brief acknowledgement section is welcome if you’ve had substantial input from others who are not co-authors.
If you are submitting an unpublished piece of writing which you’ve already produced, please make sure it is answering a question that we’ve put forward and is geared towards the perspective of a funder (see our guidance page for more detail)
