Why Should You Write for Publication? It will help you to clarify your thinking on a topic It is one of the main methods of communicating your work to other scientists It carries the weight of being peer-reviewed It can be more easily found and referenced by other scientists and public health professionals Publications can be a determinant in hiring and promotions It helps build the evidence base in MCH

Laying the Groundwork before Writing

Deciding Where to Send Your Paper Does the journal employ blind peer-reviewing? (AJPH – yes, JAMA – no, MCHJ – yes, Pediatrics – no, NEJM - no) How often do articles appearing in the journal get cited? (Look up the Journal Impact Factor) Are there a large number of subscribers? Is the journal listed in Index Medicus?

Deciding Where to Send Your Paper Does the journal process manuscripts in a reasonable amount of time? Is there a long lag from acceptance to publication? How many of their articles are published online ahead of print? Is the journal’s subject matter, methodological, and theoretical orientation appropriate? What is the journal’s acceptance rate?

Selected Impact Factors NEJM 53 Nature 36 Lancet 34 Cell 32 Science 31 JAMA 30 BMJ 13 American Journal of Epidemiology 5.75 Pediatrics 5.4 Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine 4.1 American Journal of Public Health 3.9

Resource for Investigating these Questions This is a listing of “Instructions for Authors” from over 3500 journals in the health sciences NOTE: ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR EACH JOURNAL

Common Mistakes in Laying the Groundwork before Writing

Has the journal published papers in your subject area? For example, submitting a paper on child injury to the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Does the journal have predetermined criteria that would eliminate your paper? The Journal of the American Medical Association will not accept papers from any studies with response rates below 60%.
