<p>My proffessor said the results I got from my project is publishable with my mentor's results. but the earliest they're going to be published is mid next year, does just saying that my results are publishable mean anything? I can't promise they're going to be published...
I probably won't have a final draft before next april.</p>
<p>you can definitely say you participated in a research project whose results are publishable... even if they aren't published in time (or at all) the college can call the professor for proof.</p>
<p>"Published" or "scheduled to be published by the X Journal, Feb., 2009" are acceptable and laudable, but "publishable" is not a term you should ever use. It is meaningless. This posting I am writing right now is "publishable;" see what I mean?</p>
<p>"scheduled to be published by the X Journal, Feb., 2009" : we haven't started writting the article, not sure what journal it will be published in(that is if a journal approves it) What should I say in my app?</p>
<p>I have another article thats published in a journal, but only the abstract is published, is this still considered published?</p>
<p>If you haven't even written the thing yet, all you can talk about is the research. Otherwise, it's like saying, "I'm going to win the Purple Heart, even though I haven't even joined the armed services yet ... but I plan to." It has to be written and it has to be accepted for specific publication. Until then, it's an aspiration, not an accomplishment, and you have nothing to talk about that won't make you look a bit foolish. </p>
<p>As to what you HAVE had published, well, that speaks for itself. You list the title, the name of the publication, the date of publication, your role (first author, second, etc.). If it is not immediately discernible, I would state that it is an abstract, in case they pick up the publication and would otherwise feel deceived. </p>
<p>Good luck with it. If you get it written up soon enough and submitted soon enough, perhaps before college decisions come out you'll have an acceptance and a projected date of publication that you can then legitimately contact schools and inform them of.</p>
<p>If you are writing the publication, you can write "Manuscript in preparation." If you know which journal you plan to submit it to, you can write "Manuscript in preparation for X Journal."</p>
<p>After submission, you can write "Manuscript under review at X Journal," or "Manuscript in revision for X Journal," as the case may be.</p>
<p>It's not a publication unless the article has been written, submitted, reviewed, and accepted for publication. Even an article that has been submitted to a journal is not a pub since that article still has to be peer reviewed. Right now, all you can say is that you did research.</p>
<p>i have the same problem. The paper is written, I just have trouble publishing the paper since I can't get hold of the boss from whom I need the permission.......</p>
