请教各位, 有点长, 多谢啦:
I was ready to send out my petition, then I noticed that my papers were among the 41 finalists for Signaling Breakthroughs of 2008 (“the most exciting advances in signaling transduction research”) in the Editorial Guide of Science Signaling journal (a sister journal of Science) (nominated by the Editorial Broad members and other prominent scientists around the world).
A quick search for papers on “Signaling Transduction” published in “2008” and appearing on PubMed (an on-line database developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine that provides free access to MEDLINE records) yield >16,000 records.
Can I use this evidence to meet the criterion of medium report? Only my PI's name was shown in this editorial guide. And there is only one sentence on my papers.
Is winning the status of “signaling breakthrough of the year” in a good journal strong enough to meet the medium report criterion?
The only other medium report-type evidence I have is a newsletter within my collaborator's institute (I am a co-author in their paper and only my PI's name, not mine, showed in that one). I can also put this one in if I want to claim medium report criteria now. I was not going to include it since my name did not show and I did not want to claim that criteria before this breakthrough thing came out.
By the way, for my petition I was ready to send out, I have stronger evidences for 3 criteria (contributions, papers, and reviews) and weaker evidences for 2 other (awards and memberships).
