What people have said about this course:

 

 

 

‘Breaking the whole into bite-sized chunks has made me feel that the end goal is very manageable’

 

 

 

‘The most useful study day, in terms of what its effect will be on what I do, that I have ever attended’


 

‘Excellent course. I wish I had done it years ago’

 

 

‘Our academic division has doubled its publication rate since we  have been offering the course to our new members of staff’

 

 

'My daughter came on your course last year and has already published five papers'

 

 

 

'An excellent course that completely demystifies the art of writing a paper'

 

 

 

'This year I played the game with the rules you have learned me, and I won, with minimal effort, but choosing the right journal and the right case report was crucial As you might notice, my English is not that good, but this didn't prevent the paper from being published'

 

The skill of writing an article – and getting it published in a peer reviewed journal – is highly prized, but rarely taught. This one-day course concentrates on this skill, and in particular on the process of writing. Participants should come with an idea for an article, and during the day they will work this up in easy stages. The language of the course is English.

 

By the end of the session participants will…

· understand the publications game – and how to be a winner;

· make logical and informed decisions on where to send articles;

· reduce rewriting in the final stages by early planning;

· cut ‘information overload’ by using simple brainstorming techniques;

· make the most of scarce time by writing for 10 minutes a day;

· use ‘evidence based’ writing to solve disputes with others;

· apply simple marketing techniques to increase the chances of a submitted article being looked at favourably.

 

Who should – and should not - attend

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to look at how they write journal articles, and who is ready to start writing one. This course is not suitable for those who have yet to decide on what to write about, who want a course in critical appraisal or ‘scientific English’, or who are on the whole satisfied with the way they write.
