Determining a “fit” Between Your Education Work & Publication Venues SDRME 2018 Summer Meeting Kathryn N. Huggett, Ph.D. Maria A. Blanco, Ed.D. May 21, 2018 Louisville, KY
Intended Outcomes To develop an algorithm for when and where to publish educational scholarship. We propose to share this algorithm via future presentation and publication.
Note This abstract has also been submitted to AMEE, to be presented as an SDRME-sponsored session. The authors intend to “crowdsource” ideas at both meetings and then compile a resource including the algorithm. The purpose is to create a resource to share with faculty and use in our consultation work.

Background and Relevance Medical education has evolved into new forms of scholarship, research methodologies, and more rigorous standards for reporting educational evidence. Some educational scholars are challenged where to publish educational scholarship. Increase in types of venues for disseminating scholarship beyond the traditional peer-reviewed journal. Yet, approximately 10,000 open-access journals are considered “predator” journals. No guidelines exist for scholars to determine a “fit” between their work and where to disseminate their work.
Session Objectives Describe strategies to align scholarship type and dissemination venues. List dissemination venues for scholarship. Describe an approach to advising scholars to seek guidance on dissemination venues.
