Research and Publication

[usmlepatho2020]

I want to do a research and publish it. But for now, I couldn't find anything to do it in person. And I saw people published few things on StatPearls, and they didn't actually did it in person. Is it possible to choose a topic and write about it, if no one else did? Will that work!! I want to know how people did it !
Is StatPearls an online journal?
Any information about a research will be very helpful.

This is useless. You want to do research find a reputable mentor: faculty preferred, but even resident or community physician is better than you randomly “choosing a topic” and putting it online. Do the work, don’t look for shortcuts.

Yeah, this is neither research nor a publication.

Thanks for your opinion, which is true!
Because I couldn't find anything at the moment, sending emails & nothing yet. May be I can find something later. But at least, if I can do it, why not? Do you know how can people do it on StatPearls? Do they really choose a random topic and write about it or what? I need to know the steps

Because it's a complete waste of time. Even if your 1000 word review article did get accepted, review articles by definition are not research. You would be better off continuing to search for some other activity that is more high yield.

But it's also not clear to me that you CAN do it: Contribute . As a medical student you can only write about basic science topics, and it's not clear to me how they would determine whether your contribution merited publication. In short, I think there's a really good chance you would sink a ton of time into trying to identify a "gap" only to get rejected because your topic has already been published, or it isn't considered important enough to have its own topic.

You need to find a research adviser and work with them to publish a research project. I know SDNers like to think they can singlehandedly write any research article on any topic but this is far more complicated and requires advice and guidance from the actual faculty themselves

In addition to this. Putting this on your CV will certainly garner judgment… especially if you don’t get any substantial legitimate work after. People will see right through this.

Thanks for the advice
