The UK EQUATOR Centre’s Publication School is designed for early-career researchers and students. It aims to give you a smooth writing process that results in a published article that is fit for purpose.

You will experience 2 full days of in-person learning led by methodological and writing experts from the UK EQUATOR Centre and Centre for Statistics in Medicine. Using group work, discussion, and practical exercises, we cover everything you need to plan, write, and publish your health-related research study.

Content:
Planning your message and audience
Negotiating authorship
Choosing a journal and avoiding predators
Good writing style and habits
What to write where: recipes for a successful introduction, methods, results, and discussion
Using reporting guidelines
Revising your work for simplicity, clarity and completeness
Summarising your article in an effective title and abstract
Submission and dealing with peer review
Disseminating your article after publication

Pre-course preparation includes around 1 hour of video and reading 4 journal articles.
