Get Published in Medicine is an interactive one-day online workshop designed to give practical and easily implementable advice to help you understand how to publish articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Starting out trying to publish an article can be quite daunting. It isn’t really a skillset formally ‘taught’ at medical school, nursing school or other scientific degrees. There is often an assumption that someone senior will ‘show you the ropes’ but this is highly variable, often down to luck and reliant on the person teaching you knowing the publishing field themselves.
Get Published in Medicine is a dedicated workshop run by experienced cardiologist Dr Benoy Shah, who spent 3 years during higher specialist training undertaking a research degree. During this time, he learnt much about publishing (and presenting) scientific studies. He published extensively across a wide range of article types, including original research studies, review articles, editorials, commentaries, case reports, images, scientific letters to the editor, contributing to guideline documents and also several book chapters.
The learning objectives for the Get Published in Medicine workshop are to understand:
Motivations for why people wish to publish
Opportunities in training for when to publish
Types of article that can be published and where to publish them
Need of institutional review board / ethical approval & patient consent
Layout of a typical article
Conduct efficient Pubmed/Medline searches
How to write a cover letter
Respond to reviewer comments
Create attractive images / figures & tables
Reference appropriately
Testimonials
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed before I start my research job
Brilliant. So much I did not know about publishing that has been covered today. I feel a lot more confident about trying to publish something now!
I found today really helpful. I have not managed to publish anything so far despite trying a few times but now I can see what I was doing wrong. I will try again now!
This was so useful. I wish I had known these things that we discussed today at the start of my registrar training, but better late than never i suppose! I hope you will run this course again for future trainees.
