Chapter 5-8 ordering #79

Closed danielskatz closed 4 years ago

Neil suggests that we reconsider the ordering of these chapters. Specifically:

I think [the order] depends on what you think is the most important part of URSSI, and then what flows from there. Or present it as a lifecycle. This is related to the other comment I put earlier around how these areas interact."

and

For the UK SSI, we would consider community to be the primary activity that drives the others.

However we often represent our areas of work in terms of their increasing scale of reach: consultancy->training->community->policy->dissemination & outreach; and why it's important to be doing things at each scale, and how they interact.

It would be good to have a figure that shows this in Chapter 3.

Note that changing the order should be done where these is no active review and no remaining hypothesis issues that need to be kept, as changing the ordering will confuse some reviewers and may break the hypothesis annotation links to specific text. There are also links to the chapters that will need to be changed in both these and other chapters.
