Dissemination and Publication in the Health Sciences
$250.00
Dates: May 3 - May 30Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course examines the evolving landscape of scholarly communication in the health sciences. Learners will explore traditional and emerging publication models, peer review processes, open access publishing, preprints, copyright considerations, and ethical issues in authorship and publication.
Participants will gain practical knowledge of how librarians support research dissemination and scholarly visibility. Topics include journal selection strategies, compliance with public access mandates (e.g., NIH and other funders), bibliometrics and altmetrics, and strategies for increasing research impact and discoverability.
