paratroxal Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey all, I wanted to know what constitutes an Abstract Publication? Would putting your research on a poster and doing a poster presentation at the university/conference count? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachaso Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't think so. That would count as a poster or presentation... An abstract pub would be if you presented at a major conference and they publish all the abstracts presented in the supplements of a journal. Or sometimes you can just submit an abstract for publication (e.g. in a journal's supplements) without presenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of journals accept or consist of Abstracts only, to be published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwu018 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 My rule of thumb is that the abstract should be searchable via Web of Knowledge or some other major academic citation index. This usually -- maybe even always -- requires publishing the abstract in a peer reivewed journal. As peachaso mentioned, these abstracts are published in the supplemental sections of journals. It's not to say the journals are solely dedicated to publishing abstracts, but rather there is a section in the journal dedicated for abstracts. I think the misconception is that presentation = published abstract. It is possible to publish an abstract without you presenting it (i.e. someone else may present it or there may be no presentation at all). Likewise, it is possible to present research without the abstract being published in a peer review journal. Of course, if you present at a national or international conference, it is likely that the abstract will be published in a peer reviewed journal. Hope this helps a bit.
