Would this count as a publication?

[BeastfromthEast]

So I was in a research program last year where in the end, my class sequenced the genome of a phage we isolated.

The question I have is that the sequence of the genome is a submission in GenBank in the NCBI website. Listed as the authors of the gene submission are my classmates and I.

So would this count as a "publication?" 🙂xf🙂

Here is the link of the abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore...uence.Sequence_ResultsPanel.Sequence_RVDocSum

The thing that's a little confusing is that this genome was also a part of a publication in a journal that the head of the research program wrote. So in the link, it says published in J. Virol... However, my school is not listed as one of those authors. So just disregard the part in the link where it initiallu says Journal: J. virol. The part I am talking about is the part where it lists a whole bunch of names and the title says "direct submission" to Pittsburgh.

No that's not a publication.

No, not a pub. Pretty cool though!

Definitely listable somewhere on an app but not a publication. In general pub = peer reviewed. If it wasn't peer reviewed it probably isn't worth listing as a "publication" and should be listed as something else.

As others have said, it's not. But definitely list it! I was in this same class at my school my freshman year and continued research after the class ended. I list the phage genome submissions on my CV in a heading completely separate from my publications since the GenBank submissions aren't peer reviewed.

well he should obviously list it, just not declared as a publication.

Somewhat related question: if you're listed as an author on a paper that is submitted for review but not yet accepted at the time of submitting the AMCAS, do you bother listing that as a publication? If so, how would you do that?

If it isn't accepted yet then it isn't a publication. You might mention it in your "research" entry if you felt like you had to include it.

thanks! i wont add it under pubs. What section would i add it under then in the application?

You can include it under your "research" entry where you describe your involvement
