integratedCongratulations are in order for SMHS’s very own Rosalyn A. Jurjus, Kirsten Brown, Ellen Goldman, Artin Galoosian and former faculty member Jill Krapf, whose article Curricular response to increase recall and transfer of anatomical knowledge into the obstetrics/gynecology clerkship was recently published in the journal Anatomical Sciences Education.

This article features a study on the efficacy of e-modules in and teaching an integrative curriculum for clinical anatomy.

E-Learning Modules are featured in our Health Sciences Research Commons.  Featured as teaching tools, these modules are a fantastic resource for all those looking to review clinical approaches to OB/GYN topics. The modules in this study can also be found in our research guides.

CaptureWe are happy to announce that one of our Public Health students, Mira Kahn, has recently been published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health.

Her systematic review, titled Maternal Leisure-time Physical Activity and Risk of Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review of the Literature served as her Culminating Experience, a requirement for graduating Masters of Public Health students.  Though currently at the pre-publication level, the official publication of this article will be available soon.

The Milken Institute School of Public Health promotes student publication, but most students’ Culminating Experiences rarely get published.

Congratulations to Ms. Kahn!  We are looking forward to seeing more student publications in the time to come.

nihHave a NIH grant?  Getting ready to publish?  Don’t forget to play by the rules.

Publicly accessible federal data and journal articles are key sources for major studies of a wide number of issues.  Thanks to recent action by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) ,  these sources have become easier to access, providing those in the medical field with important, reputable information.

Since April 7, 2008, the NIH has required that all manuscripts of NIH funded peer-reviewed journal articles be publicly accessible through PubMed Central.  In February 2013, the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) mandated federal departments and agencies with research budgets greater than $100 million to make research data and journal articles publicly accessible. The affected departments and agencies have adopted different plans, repositories, and implementation dates.

What does this mean for SMHS, GWSPH, and SON researchers? Publication compliance.  Himmelfarb Library can assist you with complying with these open access policies.  You can find everything you need to know about the NIH Public Access Policy and the open access policies of additional federal agencies on Himmelfarb Library's research guide on Open Access to Publicly Funded Journal Articles & Research Data.

biopreprint

 

Himmelfarb Library has found a great new resource for our students, faculty and staff!

bioPreprint is a one-stop-shop for research articles from pre-print databases, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Health Sciences Library System.

What is a pre-print database? It is a database to which scientists submit their pre-published work, typically in exchange for feedback prior to submitting to journals. Articles in preprint databases are not peer-reviewed, but are heavily screened for plagiarism and other offenses.

Many biomedical journals support what is called the “pre-print movement,” although not all accept research that has been pre-published. But with the growing need for up-to-date research, as demonstrated with the outbreak of the Zika virus, more journals may change their tune.

Prior to bioPreprint, there was no easy way to find pre-printed research articles, especially since these databases are not indexed. Fortunately, now the latest research can be found quickly and simply.

OrcidReady to submit a manuscript? Have your ORCID iD ready?

In January 2016, seven major scholarly publishers announced that they will begin requiring authors to have an ORCID iD when submitting manuscripts during 2016 and more publishers followed soon after.   ORCID stands for the Open Researcher and Contributor ID registry and an ORCID iD is simply a persistent digital identifier for an author.  By registering for an ORCID iD , you can change your name, move to a new institution, or add an honorific and any articles linking to your ORCID iD will be consistently identified as yours.

Beginning in 2016, you will be required to obtain an ORCID iD before submitting manuscripts to many academic publishers.  If you need an ORCID iD, go to: http://orcid.org/

Any questions, please feel free to contact Meaghan Corbett, Metadata and Scholarly Publishing Librarian, at corbettm@gwu.edu .

tcsYou've just finished your first research article, and are now looking for a potential journal to submit your work. With so many journals available in your field, and the proliferation of deceptive or predatory publishing practices, how do you identify which journals are high-quality?

 

Think. Check. Submit is a new cross-industry initiative that aims to help authors identify trustworthy journals. This initiative provides a checklist for authors of what to look for to help you make an informed decision on where to publish.
For assistance in evaluating journals and deciding where to publish, contact Acquisitions & Resource Sharing Librarian Meaghan Corbett at corbettm@gwu.edu.
