Description:
How do you determine the “quality” of a publication? Join this 2-hour panel session to explore several approaches you can consider based on your research needs. These considerations may also help you in your next publication endeavor. Topics include research metrics, critical appraisal tools used to assess internal study validity, and considerations to factor in for journal selection. Research metrics may be used to determine the impact of a publication, such as how frequently it has been cited. If the goal is to determine the reliability, validity, or risk of bias of a study, then you’ll need to consider critical appraisal tools. Finally, we’ll discuss considerations for journal selection, particularly in the world of Open Access where not all peer review publications are actually peer reviewed.
