Student Publishing Spotlight: Share Your Research Journey and Inspire Future Authors


Publishing as a medical student is a significant academic achievement, but for many aspiring authors, taking the first step toward publication can feel intimidating. To help demystify the publication process, Cureus created the Student Publishing Spotlight, a new video series featuring medical students who have successfully published with the Cureus Journal of Medical Science. Through short video testimonials, student authors will share their experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice for peers considering their first publication. The goal of this initiative is simple: to provide authentic, peer-to-peer insights that help future authors understand what publishing as a student actually looks like. Participants are invited to discuss: Their name, role, and institution The article they published with Cureus How they selected their topic and chose to submit to Cureus One factor that contributed to their success as a student author, such as mentorship, preparation, peer-review feedback, or persistence Why publishing early can be valuable for academic and professional development ​​​​Recording Guidelines: Length: 1–2 minutes Orientation: Horizontal (landscape) Device: Phone or laptop camera at eye level Audio: Quiet environment with clear sound Background: Clean and professional Light editing and captions are welcome but not required Selected videos may be featured across the New Authors Hub, Cureus social media channels, YouTube, and future student-focused educational resources. By sharing your experience, you can help encourage and support the next generation of clinicians and researchers while also increasing the visibility of your own scholarly contributions. We look forward to showcasing the diverse journeys that lead students from their first research idea to publication. Record your video and send a download link (Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.) to: [email protected] Every published article begins with a first step. By sharing your experience, you can help future authors navigate that journey with greater confidence and clarity. Not ready to record yet?
