为了填补卫生研究能力建设工作中的差距，我们创建了“虚拟图书馆”（VL）--一个基于网络的资源库，为中低收入国家（LMIC）的卫生研究人员提供相关资源。本文介绍了参与过程中用于系统地开发VL，并介绍了我们的跨专业团队-代表LMIC（尼泊尔）和高收入国家（HIC）（美国，美国）-从事共同的意义。来自尼泊尔和美国的研究人员和临床医生团队代表了一系列子学科，创建了一个可复制的搜索策略和标准化的资源筛选指南（RSG），以系统地评估VL中包含的资源。采用描述性方法总结RSG的调查结果和协作过程中的经验教训。14名团队成员共审查了564项潜在资源（平均值= 40，SD = 22.7）。平均RSG评分为7.02/10（SD = 2）。超过76%的资源符合四项质量标准（相关、信誉好、可访问、可理解）。在已发布的VL中，包含298个资源，按15个主题和45个子主题组织。其中，223项资源由RSG评估; 75项由团队成员的专业知识确定。协作过程包括定期会议、反复修订文档和同行评审。资源质量比预期的要好，这也许是因为与卫生研究有关的最佳做法/原则具有普遍意义，无论背景如何。虽然RSG对我们的搜索系统化和确保重现性至关重要，但团队成员的专业知识是有价值的。在同行审查期间，将小组成员配对，导致双向知识共享，特别成功。这项工作反映了高度协作的全球伙伴关系，为今后的卫生研究能力建设工作提供了一个模式。我们邀请参与虚拟图书馆<https://lmicresearch.org>作为基础设施的一个支柱，以发展个人和机构的研究能力。
To fill the gap in health research capacity-building efforts, we created the ‘Virtual Library’ (VL) – a web-based repository of context-relevant resources for health researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper describes the participatory process used to systematically develop the VL, and describes how our interprofessional team – representing both an LMIC (Nepal) and a high-income country (HIC) (USA, US) – engaged in shared meaning-making. A team of researchers and clinicians representing a range of subdisciplines from Nepal and the US created a replicable search strategy and standardized Resource Screening Guide (RSG) to systematically assess resources to be included within the VL. Descriptive methods were used to summarize findings from the RSG and lessons learned from the collaborative process. Collectively, 14 team members reviewed 564 potential resources (mean = 40, SD = 22.7). Mean RSG score was 7.02/10 (SD = 2). More than 76% of resources met each of the four quality criteria (relevant; reputable, accessible; understandable). Within the published VL, 298 resources were included, organized by 15 topics and 45 sub-topics. Of these, 223 resources were evaluated by the RSG; 75 were identified by team member expertise. The collaborative process involved regular meetings, iterative document revisions, and peer review. Resource quality was better than expected, perhaps because best practices/principles related to health research are universally relevant, regardless of context. While the RSG was essential to systematize our search and ensure reproducibility, team member expertise was valuable. Pairing team members during peer-review led to bi-directional knowledge sharing and was particularly successful. This work reflects a highly collaborative global partnership and offers a model for future health research capacity-building efforts. We invite engagement with the Virtual Library <https://lmicresearch.org> as one supportive pillar of infrastructure to develop individual and institutional research capacity.
