How can I put a paper in progress in ERAS, its not even a manuscript yet. I have the title name and authors. It has been presented as a poster for the university I am doing research with before I join in. Now Im working with the same article to get later published most probably next year. Hope to hear from you all soon to get feedback. Thanks

Yes, you can put ongoing research in ERAS. Just be prepared to discuss the work in an interview. If all you have to say is "somebody else presented it as a poster and I'm going to help write the manuscript, even though it hasn't been written yet" - it's fairly obvious you haven't actually done any work, you're just trying to beef up the CV.

You can list it as a research experience. You can NOT list it as a publication or the poster unless your name was on it (which it apparently wasn't).

I spoke to ERAS recently and they told me I can listed on other articles section and put "In progress" in Publication Name. Anyone who have been in same position? Thanks Krichards and gutonc for your promptly answers, I hope ERAS person is clear about this I told them is not a manuscript yet but a paper in progress and they asnwer me that.

What if you had a research experience of 8+ months (Lit. search/article appraisal, helped write IRB proposal and study design), but for a reason out of my control the research never got past the IRB stage and we weren't able to finish it. Should I list this since lots of time went into it and it shows I at least did some research/took initiative or would it hurt since I know programs dont like unfinished projects. Not sure what to do any advice would be appreciated?

Absolutely list it. S**t happens in research. People understand that. Sure, a project that produces a publication or a clinical trial is better than one that doesn't. But I would venture to guess that the vast majority of research projects wind up like yours. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a useful experience.
