Workshop
Description: “If you do not write for publication, there is little point in writing at all.” George Bernard Shaw
The Editors-in-Chief of the journal Pediatric Research, will give a short interactive didactic on each section of this workshop, followed by hands-on activities facilitated by editorial board members. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops and a writing project (can be a draft, an outline, or even an idea!). The participants will be divided into facilitated small groups for dynamic discussion and hands-on activities of the following topics: 1) Where do I submit my research? Commentary? Correspondence? 2) How do I format my manuscript? 3) How do I write my manuscript with the review in mind? 4) What happens after I submit my manuscript? 5) What does the decision letter mean? 6) How do I write a revision? Throughout the session participants will be given examples to discuss in their groups, encouraged to ask questions and share from their own experience and from their group’s discussion. At the close of the session participants will be invited to make concluding comments from each of the small groups. A detailed overview of the workshop and handouts will be provided for all participants.
