This 30-hour course is for healthcare and pharmaceutical researchers, professionals and students who want to write research articles in English for submission to international journals.
Writing for Publication teaches the structure and language needed to publish. It describes the conventions used, analyses multiple examples, and provides tasks to complete. By the end of the course, you will have a clear idea of what you need to do to have your research successfully published.
The course focuses on quantitative research and has a strong, practical focus at all times. It breaks down the writing and publishing process into easily digestible sections. It is easy to follow and combines insight and expertise with humour and engaging activities throughout.
Writing for Publication hybrid course combines the 30-hour digital course with 2 x 1.5-hour practical workshops with a published writer and editor.
The workshops focus on what participants need to do to get their research published, including proofreading, editing, preparing a paper, journal selection, and the submission process. Attendees get input and feedback from a published writer with many years of experience working with researchers from around the world. At the end of the course, participants will be clear on the next steps they need to take to submit their research articles for publication.
These sessions are designed with groups of up to 12 participants in mind, but can be adapted to different size groups or individuals. Workshops are given on Zoom but in-person sessions may be arranged on request.
