Scholarship in Emergency Medicine: A Primer for Junior Academics Part I: Writing and Publishing

Michael Gottlieb et al. West J Emerg Med. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

The landscape of scholarly writing, publishing, and university promotion can be complex and challenging. Mentorship may be limited. To be successful it is important to understand the key components of writing and publishing. In this article, we provide expert consensus recommendations on four key challenges faced by junior faculty: writing the paper; selecting contributors and the importance of authorship order; journal selection and indexing; and responding to critiques. After reviewing this paper, the reader should have an enhanced understanding of these challenges and strategies to successfully address them.
