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.
