Workshop
Description: OK, you’ve just published your paper! Now you want to maximize the impact your paper has on the field, your team, your patients and you! There are several methods that will have this effect, some better done before you submit your paper.
This workshop will provide the methods used, both pre- and post- publication, that can increase the impact of your paper. Pre-publication methods include tailoring your reference list to include highly cited authors, writing a good article abstract that includes MeSH terms, making your title short and to the point, and using recommendations in ASEO (Academic Search Engine Optimization).
Post publication methods include various actions by journal editors that include general strategies, as well as ones focused on your paper. General strategies include promoting authenticity of the journal (projecting clear standards for publications, listing affiliations of all key staff of the journal with contact information, including Managing Editor, Editors-in-Chief and all Editorial Board members, clear ethics policies and a process to reinforce them (membership in COPE), short turnaround times, free access. Journal methods that target your publication are press release nominations, journal social media communications, collections and pediapods.
Workshop participants will be invited to bring their manuscripts hopefully on a laptop in preparation for on hands assistance with using these tools to increase impact. Nearly all topics involve interaction and the social media editors will also be actively engaging both inside and outside of the session to demonstrate some of the principles involved in information dissemination in real-time.
