I am a current MS4 applying this cycle and have a letter to the editor publication in a high impact factor journal. The letter to the editor relates to a medical humanities topic and was submitted, went through the peer-reviewed editing process, and was published (has a doi, etc.). On ERAS, what category of research would this go under? Is it a Published Peer-Reviewed Journal Article given that it was published in a journal via the peer-review process (despite it not being an article regarding a data-driven study)? Is it an Other Article (which I assume makes it less valuable to my application and is a wider catch-all category)? Or something else?
I've asked several mentors and looked around SDN and other sites but there doesn't seem to be a consensus and it seems like ERAS didn't used to have so many research categories so there doesn't seem to be a clear precedent. I don't at all want to oversell my work, but I also don't want to sell myself short.
Thanks for the help.
