This one-hour online training is the first session in a two-part series that aims to assist researchers in writing a research paper. This training introduces the preliminary steps in the publishing process including generating an idea, choosing a journal, understanding journal criteria and format requirements, and writing a paper within the research manuscript framework. The training also provides best practices and tips for writing each section of the paper.
By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:
Generate an idea and a research topic for a manuscript
Identify resources for choosing an appropriate journal
Understand the biomedical research paper structure and framework
Describe information to be included in each section of the biomedical research paper framework
Attendees are not expected to have prior knowledge on writing a research paper. The training may be informative for early career researchers or anyone needing a refresher on how to write a research paper. The training is a companion to How to Write a Research Paper: Part 2, and is a logical follow-up for the How to Write an Abstract training.
