Incident reporting: science or protoscience? Ten years later

Beginning with this issue, QSHC will reprint important studies and reports that have made significant contributions to the fields of patient safety and quality improvement. In this series we will focus on papers that shaped our thinking and are described as seminal or as landmarks. Some of these papers we know about but may be inaccessible, while some we have forgotten but are so wise that modern generations can benefit from reading them. We will invite commentary to reflect on the context and contribution of these seminal papers to these fields. We encourage readers to suggest papers that have helped shape their thinking. We look forward to your suggestions.
