VIDEO: Want to get your work published? Expert advises ‘don’t give up’
In a Healio video exclusive, David T. Rubin, MD, chief of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at the University of Chicago Medicine, outlines tips for getting your work published in a medical journal.
Originally presented at the Crohn’s and Colitis Congress with colleagues Fabio Cominelli, MD, PhD, of Case Western Reserve University, and Siddharth Singh, MD, of the University of California San Diego, Rubin highlighted the importance of choosing the most appropriate journal, sending pre-submission inquiries, creating a compelling cover letter and more.
When it comes to getting your research published, Rubin’s “make sure you do this” advice includes:
- don’t give up;
- be prompt in your responses;
- update your co-authors regularly on details of both rejections and acceptances;
- share your publication widely;
- be proud of your work; and
- ‘pay it forward’ — become a peer-reviewer yourself.
“Just remember that this is a long process for many articles,” Rubin said. “It's just part of what we do, and it can be very enjoyable. And certainly, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your work in print when it's all done.”
