Learning outcomes

Day 1: writing the first draft. Participants should be in a position to write a paper (ie have collected the ‘data’). 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 effective planning before;
  • 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 paper being looked at favourably.

Day 2: working on the first draft. The day will take place a week later. Participants must bring with them the first draft of their paper. By the end of the session participants will…

  • improve their manuscript by applying tests in five main areas;
  • know how to give - and receive – balanced feedback;
  • design a schedule that will enable them to finish off their paper;
  • be confident in dealings with co-authors;
  • understand how journals work – and how they select articles;
  • understand the strengths and weaknesses of the reviewing process, and how to cope with the comments of reviewers;
  • be able to deal constructively with editorial staff;
  • have clear ideas for continuing to publish.
