Is this even worthwhile to report? If you are the third author--would it appear to be grasping at straws if you include this in your list of publications? This is with no plan of submitting a full-length manuscript of course.

A publication is a publication.

I have this same question...the only problem is I can't find my published abstract in the supplement anywhere online either?? I have a hard copy.

A publication is a publication.

Is it though? Are you arguing that a third author abstract published in a particular journal's conference supplement is equivalent to a third author manuscript in that same journal's regular issue?

 

[PhillyMed777]

i don't think the other post is arguing that an abstract publication is equal to a manuscript...rather, that it is indeed a publication worthy of being noted...heck there is a whole hierarchy of better and worse when it comes to full manuscripts. No two publications are exactly equivalent.

Goes under the "Abstracts" section of your CV. Look at nearly any academic attending's CV for examples of this.

So you wouldn't list it as a publication even tho it is in fact in a journal

Take a look at this thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/publishing-an-abstract.271340/

Correct, you would not. Most conference abstracts get published in a"Proceedings" volume that is often published as a special issue of the journal.

Just to quickly add to this--if the abstract was also presented as a poster, then choose one to list on your CV (either the abstract in a separate "abstracts" section, or the poster presentation in a separate "posters and presentations" section); don't double-dip.
