Hi. Couple of questions:
On ERAS - should any published article (in peer-reviewed journals) you are an author on be listed under publications? Some I am 2nd, some 4th, but for all I was significantly involved in the research. Just wanted to know if we should only be listing articles where we are 1st or 2nd author, or if they all should be listed?

Regarding Poster presentations, I have several on my own, and then several presented at national meetings where I am listed 2nd, but worked directly with the person listed 1st and was at the poster presentation/meeting with them. Do these get listed as well?

Thanks!
 
Anything where you are listed as an author, whether 1st or 100th, is fair game and should be on your application, as long as it's peer reviewed and it reflects your work.
 
Thanks to you both!

One of the posters I am 2nd, but couldn't attend the conference (Japan) is this one worth putting as well? I did the work, but didn't attend the conference so i'm thinking this one should probably not be on my application.

Thanks again!

If your name was on the poster, then it goes on your CV. Doesn't matter if you went to the meeting. You did the work, and got the credit.
 
Thank you for your advice, its very helpful in this process!

I do have one more question - Poster presentations at national/international conferences should go under the poster presentation section, correct? . I had read somewhere on here that some were placing them under peer reviewed abstracts since they are submitted the organization and reviewed prior to acceptance?
If this is true, which place is best to put them?

Thanks again in advance!

Yes, but what if your poster is based on an abstract that is published (i.e. After submitting the abstract, the peer-review process selected your abstract for a poster presentation at a conference). I would argue that this should be listed as a peer-reviewed, accepted, abstract (and would think that this is held in higher esteem than just a poster presentation?).

That sounds fine.

The place within the ERAS program for you to enter posters seems to be within the "publications" section of ERAS. When you enter a "publication" there is a little drop down menu where you pick the publication "type". The "types" of publications include things like "peer reviewed publication in a journal" as well as "oral presentation", "poster presentation", etc.

BUMP

What is the consensus here? Anyone have further recommendations?

I've got a few different categories of these things.

1) submitted abstract -> peer-reviewed and approved for poster -> presented poster -> submitted abstract subsequently published in journal

2) submitted abstract -> peer-reviewed and approved for poster -> presented poster -> submitted abstract not published

3) poster shown at in-house research conference (not reviewed)

4) presentation shown at in-house research conference (not reviewed)

I would guess that #1 would go as a pub, 2-3 would be posters, and 4 would be a presentation, correct?

What if you won an award on one of these? Would you mention it with the pub entry, or list it separately as an award?

Sounds reasonable. ERAS doesn't really separate peer reviewed from non peer reviewed stuff, but PD's will pick out the more competitive pubs.

I would only mention the award with the pub entry, unless it was something at a national society meeting.

In my experience the so called "peer review" process for abstracts (which are usually 200 words, without figures) is a joke; it is more of a check to make sure the subject matter is appropriate for any particular conference.

It would behoove you to separate these clearly from peer reviewed full length articles published in journals. The relative value of plain old abstracts vs published abstracts is something like 1.0 vs 1.2 compared to a 10.0 for a real peer reviewed publication.

1-4 are all peanuts compared to a real peer reviewed journal article, and differentiating between them would likely make no difference whatsoever.
 
Would you list an oral presentation if you were 2nd or 3rd author and did not actually present the paper yourself?? Or only list oral presentations that you yourself held?
 
Question:
Residency departments will be downloading apps sept 1, so lets say I am STILL working on a project that is "draft in progress" phase but will be submitted in october / november, how could I put that on ERAS? just put it in research experience then? Also, after submission, can one update submission section on ERAS or just tell the programs on interview day that paper is submitted?
