Research question

Hi all,

I have a first author case report that has been submitted that is currently stuck in editing (been "under review" for >2 months). While this is stewing away, I recently found a regional conference that does accept case reports which is having a submission deadline upcoming soon. What I'm wondering is, with the PI's blessing, does it make a lot of sense to submit this report to the conference as a poster presentation while we still await a final verdict on the manuscript? The value for me is more for justifying being able to go to the conference to go network, but if its helpful for the CV (and not seen as something where I'm trying to artificially boost my numbers) that would also be useful.

I think this is a fine idea. Use the meeting to make connections as well.

This is fine

Should be fine. Just double check the conference guidelines. Some will specify they only want new work that’s never been presented or published elsewhere. Thats pretty rare in smaller regional conferences though.

Don’t worry one little bit about the boosting your numbers thing. Nobody cares and everybody does it. I feel like every manuscript published comes along with that same work having been on a couple posters and podiums beforehand. It’s how someone will have 5 actual publications but 20+ research items when counting pubs/orals/posters. Lots of recycling going on out there and absolutely nothing wrong with it either. It reflects the natural evolution of a project.
