Steven Abman (SA): We are pleased to welcome you to another session of our webinar series on “Challenges in Pediatric Academic Medicine,” which is jointly sponsored by the American Pediatric Society (APS) and the Society for Pediatric Research (SPR). The purpose of this “virtual chat” series is to provide a forum that brings together diverse members of our pediatric academic community at many different stages of their careers, including students and residents and fellows and faculty, as well as chairs, deans, and senior leadership. The goal of this series is to address critical topics and challenges that we face in academic medicine, especially as related to child health.

Past sessions have included such topics as navigating career transitions, disparities in health care and outcomes, mentorship and mentee-ship as a two-way street, and many other topics. I am especially excited about today’s session, which is entitled “Academic Skills: Publications.” Certainly, the hallmark of a successful career is directly reflected by one’s publication track record, which serves as a key metric for having impact in one’s field. Consequently, understanding the peer review process, multiple factors related to publication integrity, ethical issues and related concerns, and how to best communicate our science are vital for career advancement as well as advancing our understanding of diverse clinical problems. As such, we are grateful to have three outstanding editors of pediatric journals as panelists for today’s discussion.
