dr.seuss Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi, I co-authored an abstract that's currently under review by the American Society of Hematology. I'm pretty sure it will get published in their peer reviewed journal - as it is being submitted by a well known hospital (vs. simply an undergraduate student hoping to present at a conference). How should I go about submitting this in my ABS? I will not personally be at the conference, however. Are abstracts still useful? I've been getting mixed answers. The only reason why it didn't become a paper was its lack of data from a clinical population.... THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789trial Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I have a question that you may be able to answer. What counts as a published abstract? I've presented a poster at an international and national conference and both the abstracts are available online. Do these count as both poster presentations AND published abstracts? And what about more local/institutional conferences? I've given talks at a couple university level conferences, but the abstracts aren't available online (apart from the conference programs where they had everyone's abstracts printed out). Do these ones only count as oral presentations and not published abstracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, in your case, it's only submitted for the conference; it hasn't even been accepted yet, so I don't think you can put it on your app unless it gets accepted in time.

rask Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 An abstract 'published' in the conference booklet is not a published abstract. Abstracts for conferences are pretty well always available online or in a booklet given out at the conference. Some conferences are hosted by societies that published their own journal. If the abstract was truly published (i.e. included in an issue of a journal with an actual citation) then perhaps. But even that seems to be stretching it a bit and definitely isn't the same as an honest to goodness published article. I would just list them as poster presentations. If the abstract has not been accepted, there is still a chance that it won't be so I would not include it. Perhaps it could be mentioned under a research activity that an abstract was submitted as a result of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFlint Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think that saying "contributed to work leading to a published meeting abstract" might be appropriate if it has been confirmed that the abstract will be published in the conference booklet. Any sciency person reading this should have a clear understanding what this means. An abstract such as this wouldn't stand on its own, but would increase the "quality" of the research activity that it is presented in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
