By abstracts do you mean "Peer Reviewed Journal Articles/Abstracts (Other than Published)"?
I ask because it seem wrong to list a poster presentation in something that says peer reviewed, but it's the only option for abstracts (other than Published)

If you just had an abstract accepted, then you need to put it as whatever it was accepted as (oral presentation? poster presentation?).

I was asking in reference to abstracts that were accepted for poster presentations. I presented my own poster, but the other posters were presented by other medical students with me listed in the authorship. What is the ideal way to list all of those?
If I have assisted on multiple research projects from different PIs from the same organization, should I list these are individual research experiences or just one research experience?
Thanks in advance!
There an FAQ for ERAS publication listings. Your question is likely already answered there.
ERAS 'Publications' Listing FAQ
For the research experiences section: If you had the same experience, aka data collection for inguinal hernia patients all year, but your team presented several non-published studies to several conferences from the same data you collected and you're stuck to put them in your experiences section rather than publications section because you didn't present them - can you make an individual experience for each study at each conference? Even though it's all from the same database you made, and technically the same experience you had? I'm asking because there's no way I can fit all of the titles of the studies in just one description box. Thanks in advance.
Also, if you present something at your home school's research day, and at the same research day someone else is presenting a project with your name on it - can you put that person's presentation under "poster presentations" since you were there? Or do you actually need to present it? Thanks!
I had a couple of quick questions that I didn't come across in the thread so far:
1) I have a couple of articles published in the online medical journal Cureus. These are listed on PubMed and have a PMID associated with them. I was not sure to list them as 'Peer Reviewed Journal Articles/Abstracts' or 'Peer Reviewed Online Publications'. The latter makes most sense at first glance, but does not allow entry of information such as PMID, Volume/Issue etc.
2) I have some articles that have been accepted for publication (Epub ahead of print) with no associated volume/issue numbers as of yet, but they are indexed on PubMed and have an associated PMID. Should I list them as 'Peer Reviewed Journal Article/Abstract' or 'Peer Reviewed Journal Article/Abstract - Other than Published'. Again, I do not have a volume/issue number for these articles so I would have to put 'N/A' for them if I put them in the first category but the latter does not have any space to enter a PMID.
This system is kind of archaic for how journals index and make articles available for viewing prior to publication in an online version nowadays.
Thanks for any help!
I would like to ask for your honest input regarding the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: A publication was preceded by two poster presentations (I was the presenter for both.) The posters are slightly different: Poster 1 presented the initial data, whereas poster 2 had newer data and directly preceded the manuscript
Poster 1 - presented at more reputable conference (e.g. American Heart Association)
Poster 2 - presented at less reputable conference BUT won a poster award
A) Delete all poster presentations and list them under research experience since paper is published
B) Go with the more reputable conference OR the award-winning poster
C) List both poster presentations: versions 1 AND 2
Scenario 2: Poster presentation in medical education with so many co-authors that I am number 20+ or so (The authors were sorted by alphabet and I did not present.)
A) List under ”Volunteer experiences”
B) List as “poster”: and leave out my name - “Author 1, et al.”
I hope you can bear with this long post! Thanks for your help!
Last edited: Sep 3, 2017Hi, just wanted to quickly ask:
Is it okay to write down a case report that I will be submitting to a journal sometime toward the end of this month or next month, but since applications are going out soon, I put it down under the Publications section as "submitted" anyway?
The report will definitely be submitted, just not now at this moment.

No. You can only include things that have been published or accepted for publication as publications. If you want, you can list your work on the case report as a research activity and mention that you'll be submitting a manuscript for publication soon. It is, however, not a publication yet.
This is the oddest thing I've ever seen, with all the periods and the ampersands. So, the authorship will look like: Appleseed, J.M., & Washington, G., & Carson, J.H.
Is this odd format required?
I know it's really odd - I would go with your intuition and just use whatever formatting looks acceptable to read on the CV. (Use the preview function)
For example I went with:
Appleseed, JM; Washington, G; Carson, JH.
I noted that the rendering process by ERAS automatically puts ANOTHER period at the very end of the author list. So if you put periods after the initials, it will look like this at the very end of the list:
Appleseed, J.M.; Washington, G.; Carson, J.H..
when posting an abstract (poster presentation that I am listed on but did not present), it appears the exact same as published manuscripts since it was pubished in the journal's supplement. I don't want this to be disingenuous, so is there anything I should do to indicate it's an abstract? It seems weird that they are lumped together
edit: @gutonc, @aProgDirector do one of you mind giving your advice? sorry to bother you
Last edited: Sep 8, 20171) Have a publication in a peer reviewed journal publication, 9 page paper in International Journal of Particle Therapy. Not categorized under PubMed. List as publication, but just not put PMID?
2) Multiple accepted abstracts at an annual meeting for Posters. Didn't go to some of the poster presentations unless first author. The abstracts are all published under the journal's supplement. List as "peer reviewed abstract" or "poster presentation". or "peer reviewed articles/abstracts (other than published)?
I am an online writer for a medical student blog so I have a few articles published online (obviously not scientific or research based lol). I wasn't going to add this to the publication section under "other articles," but I was talking to another student who is.
What do you guys think?
If we publish an "essay" in a peer-reviewed journal (that's indexed on PubMed), but it's not research, do we still include this and where?
i.e. something from "Narrative Medicine" section of JAMA

For both of you--by all means, you CAN list these publications. But know that it probably will look like you're padding your resume (which you are, unless it is actually in JAMA).
Think of it another way: would you want to discuss these works in an interview setting? If you can say your learned something or reached an important audience with your experience, then great; if it's something you would hope you wouldn't have to talk about in an interview, then I'd leave it off.

Agree with this completely. If you published a narrative medicine type piece, and put that on your CV (which I argue that you should do), you are definitely going to get asked about it during interviews.
Reactions: 1 userIf I have 2 articles that are in ePrint for a peer reviewed journal, should they go under "Peer Reviewed Journal Articles/Abstracts" or "Peer Reviewed Online Publication"? Sorry if this is an obvious question, I've just gotten some mixed answers from my advisors. Thanks so much

If they have PubMed ID's put them in the Journal category. Otherwise Online.Question: I published an article in a peer reviewed journal. There is a PMID, volume /issue number and everything. The only thing I cannot find is the page numbers. For some reason there are no page numbers. What do I do?

Leave them blank if you can. Otherwise make them up. Reactions: 1 userIn college I did a healthcare internship through an interdisciplinary poverty studies organization. I was asked to write an essay about my experience, which was published on the organization's website. I have it listed as a publication on my CV, but is this something that should go in the publications section on ERAS or is that more focused on research?
For context, I'm applying to FM so research is not a big deal. I have been heavily involved with a handful of research projects with some powerpoint/poster presentations, 2-3 of which are ongoing and will hopefully result in publications at some point, but I do not anticipate having any research-related publications by the time I submit my ERAS application this fall.
If the experience was substantial and relates to some of your eventual career goals, by all means include it in your application, but I don't think this would really be considered a "publication" in the sense that an academic institution would mean.
Reactions: 1 userThanks so much! What about non-research related presentations? I was also on a panel at a conference related to that internship, and have given talks at various community locations about some other experiences/topics. These are all healthcare/community service/poverty studies related, and some included a brief discussion of some research I have done, but the talks were not strictly about the research.
I would include that in the description of your activity, but also would not be considered a publication. Each "activity" in ERAS has a box where you can give details of exactly what you did.
Reactions: 1 userProbably not. I think it doesn't really matter ultimately if you put it under presentations or under the activity description, they'll understand what you did either way. But my general sense is that the presentation section is for more academic oriented, research-focused presentations.
A few people have mentioned presentations given during rotation are not recommended. I had a presentation in collaboration with the chief resident. It was an educational presentation for all the residents during a time that was designated for resident education.
My second question is to do with newspaper columns. I do a small column in my local newspaper (in my native language) with health tips, preventative medicine and general information about common disease in my community. Where can I put this, if I should even add it in my application?

I don't think those presentations given during rotations matter, as many med students get assigned to do them even. In general I veer away from anything that's intra-institutional because I don't think it is that impressive (and it's not) honestly. However, if you have nothing better to put and want to include it, you can do as you wish, but I doubt it makes a difference.
I don't think your newspaper column is a publication, as it's more of a work or volunteer experience (depending on whether you get paid). The closest it will come in publications will be "other articles," but I don't think it's appropriate there as you're writing a series of small articles. Also, newspaper op-eds and other articles are not considered peer-reviewed (as discussed before).
I've recently had an abstract accepted for a stroke conference. I'm a co-author and will be doing the oral presentation in October this year.The abstract will also be published in a reputable journal (affiliated with the world stroke organization).
Do I list that in both oral presentation and peer reviewed journal article/abstract (other than published) or just one (if so which one) ?
help would be appreciated, thank you
As you haven't done the presentation yet and it won't be done at the time of application submission, I would probably just put it as an abstract and note under your research experience that it has been accepted to the conference and will be an oral presentation in October.
