From Poster to Presentation to Paper: How Do We Get Through The Process? (Jointly organized by the Editorial Board and the Editorial Team of the American Journal of Public Health)
Publishing a paper in the American Journal of Public Health (Journal) or any scientific journal requires hard work and dedication. Many public health practitioners, students, and supporters are able to create dynamic posters or deliver inspired presentations to highlight their research and practice findings, but then stop short before going the next step to create and submit a valuable manuscript for publication in a peer reviewed journal. Climbing this rung of the ladder is crucial for disseminating intervention efforts and research findings in a forum that is highly revered by peers, policymakers, and the larger public. This joint session of the Journal’s Editorial Board and Editorial Team will feature experienced editors and authors with diverse expertise who have skills and advice to offer for publishing in a variety of formats. Emphasis will be placed on turning posters and presentations into Research and Practice articles and briefs. In addition, the Journal’s public health history editors will encourage participants to submit papers for their innovative and accessible historical departments, including Voices from the Past, Images of Health, and Public Health Then and Now.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to: 1. Learn or rethink ways of developing their fine posters and presentations into research and practice papers; 2. Develop an appreciation of the importance of wider dissemination of poster and presentation findings through peer reviewed journals; and 3. Explore the notion of writing papers for diverse departments, disciplines and Journals, by using public health history as an example.
