Editors and Abstracts Hours

By far, the most read part of any journal article is the abstract. It is also the part of a manuscript that most determines whether your paper is sent out for review or accepted for review by potential peer reviewers.

But, do you know how to write a good one? Do you want advice from experienced journal editors on how to revise your own paper’s abstract? MDM Journals Editor-in-Chief Brian J. Zikmund-Fisher and Deputy Editor Lauren E. Cipriano would like to help.

Editors and Abstracts Hours

We host online “Editors and Abstracts Hours” on a regular basis. We encourage any interested author of medical decision making research to drop in to the call. We will ask people to share their abstract with whoever attends and provide feedback both on the abstract and on what we look for in submissions to Medical Decision Making and MDM Policy & Practice. No cost, no obligation. Just an opportunity.

Schedule and Links

Note: If you are planning to attend, please consider emailing the journal office at mdm-journal@umich.edu to let us know. We appreciate the notice! For authors for whom this time slot is not feasible, please email the journal office and we will try to work out an alternate method of connecting.
