Full Abstract Detail: Practitioners and researchers in public health and health professions often find it challenging to find the right publication venue for their work in general, and for specific projects or initiatives in particular. In this session, the Editorial Leadership teams from SOPHE journals share experience, expertise, and insight that will help you find the journal “home” for the important work you do with diverse partners and priority populations. Through examples, stories, and lessons learned, our team highlights the importance of understanding journal missions, article format options, submission processes, and article access options. We also explain impact factor and other journal metrics, and share strategies for amplifying journal reach and dissemination through a variety of communications channels. Participants will hear from Editorial Leadership teams representing several SOPHE journals and with experience publishing in and reviewing for a variety of journals. Through an interactive panel part of the session, participants will engage with members of our Editorial team who have particular experience in and passion for supporting practitioners in developing and publishing their work and for disseminating published work through diverse channels post-publication to maximize the reach and impact of research and practice. Participants will have time for small group discussions to focus on elevating the voices of our practitioner and community partners and increasing our collective capacity to advocate for programs and policies that promote health and health equity through the work we publish.
