Planning for publication: UK EQUATOR Lightning Workshop 2020
Join this free one-hour practical, interactive workshop from the UK EQUATOR Centre. In our Lightning Workshops series, our methodology, writing, and communication experts cover all of the essential aspects of writing and publishing your academic research. These sessions are designed for early-career biomedical and clinical researchers.

What do you and your co-authors need to decide before you start to write? We will help you refine your message, define your target audience and choose an appropriate journal to ensure a smooth publication process. We’ll talk about different kinds of publications, how to spot a predatory journal, and thinking beyond journal impact factor. You’ll have a chance to apply the concepts to your own research.

Paula Dhiman is a medical statistician working on meta-research at the UK EQUATOR Centre in the Centre for Statistics in Medicine. She focuses on the methodological conduct and reporting of non-randomised research, aiming to help improve the quality and integrity of future research. She is passionate about statistical methodology and observational research, and is particularly interested in prognostic/risk modelling.

Jen is CSM’s science writing, dissemination, and publication specialist. She’s here to help your research reach its full potential through clear, complete writing that targets the right audience. She develops resources on how to write fantastic health research articles and teaches academic writing skills through the UK EQUATOR Centre.
