Data Review and Reporting
Upon receipt of data from all the collaborators the Study Director will compile the data,
conduct a preliminary statistical analysis, and write the collaborative study report. The report
is submitted to the General Referee and the Committee Statistician for review, and is then
forwarded to the Methods Committee. The Methods Committee reviews the study report and
then submits the study to the Official Methods Board, who can then adopt the method as
Official First Action
AOAC Method. If so adopted the collaborative study report is published in
the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, in which you will receive credit as a collaborator.
The AOAC Official Method is published in “Official Methods of Analysis”. Regardless of the
outcome of the study, a compilation of the study results will be forwarded to you, with your
results highlighted.
After a period of time (normally 2 years) an
Official First Action
Method can be adopted as a
Final Action AOAC Official Method by the Association membership upon recommendation by
the appropriate General Referee, Methods Committee, and the Official Methods Board.
If successful, this study will provide analysts with a sensitive, selective and rugged
method. Thank you in advance for your participation in this study.
