Research and publishing are integral components of a life in academia. However, publishing can be difficult and confusing to navigate. This Capstone; “A Quick Introduction to the Medical Publishing Field” seeks to make this process easier for members of the Dell Medical School’s community. As an addition to the broader “Medicine” libguide, this section addresses topics like; how to find a journal to publish in, important publishing terminology, what is open access publishing, and how to assess the quality level of the publication. I do this by providing short and succinct explanations of useful topics, ideas, and tools, which I identified by reviewing existing resources and surveying both the Dell Medical School community and members of the Medical Library Association. By creating this libguide addition, I hope to increase understanding of the medical publishing process and open access publishing models in particular.
