Student research conference concerns

From the Digital Commons Google group: 11/16/2016 by Meaghan Heselden <corbettm@email.gwu.edu>

For faculty and students who are concerned about the implications of publishing in the future, or about making their data publicly available before they've had the opportunity to submit a manuscript to a journal, we offer the option to embargo posters for a period of their choice (6 months up to 3 years). I've also pointed out the policies of several prominent health sciences journals and publishers that don't consider posters to be prior or duplicate publication, such as: 

- International Committee of Medical Journal Editors

- Sage Publishing

- PLoS 

- Nature Journals

We would advise our students to read individual journals' policies, and to contact the journal directly with any questions or concerns about their editorial process--we offer to assist with that, as well.
