Session 3 Track 2: Guiding Journal Targeting: Shooting for the Moon may Leave you Lost in Space
Session Chair(s)
Jennie G Jacobson, PHD
President, Jacobson Medical Writing, Inc., United States
The saying ‘Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you may land among the stars’ does not apply to targeting journals for biomedical publications. Aiming high sounds good to authors and companies who want the highest status journal possible for their manuscripts, but may be the beginning of a costly cycle of rejection and resubmission that significantly delays publication. As medical writers, what is our role in helping publication stakeholders to target realistic journal targets?
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Understand the role of the medical writer in recommending target journals
- Discuss and dissect stakeholder motivations for overly optimistic journal choices
- Influence clients and authors to select realistic journals for their manuscripts
