Abstract
Program Description:
Getting Published is a results-oriented miniseminar for clinicians seeking to publish in medical journals, with an emphasis this year on letters, commentaries, and social media. The goal is to offer explicit strategies that help authors understand the role of correspondence (commentaries, brief reports, and letters to the editor) in a peer-reviewed journal from a myriad of viewpoints: publisher, editor in chief, managing editor, resident physician, and young physician (junior faculty member). Writing correspondence is one of the best ways for residents and young physicians to experience the thrill of getting published, so specific presentations will be targeted to these groups.
Educational Objectives:
1) Describe the roles of letters, commentaries, and social media in a peer-reviewed journal. 2) Apply current strategies to help authors maximize their success in getting correspondence published. 3) Avoid common pitfalls when submitting correspondence for publication.
