- Writing and Publishing your work in the International Medical
Literature - CANCELADO
Coordinators:
Matthew Anderson.
Institution:
Department of Family and Social Medicine; Montefiore Medical Center; Family Health Center - Bronx - N.Y.
Maximum number of participants:
20
Summary:
There are numerous barriers to authors from developing countries who want to publish their work in the international medical literature. These barriers have effectively isolated important voices
and perspectives from the global discussion on health.
Objectives:
To address the practical skills involved in preparing manuscripts for submission,
working with journals and using publications for purposes of advocacy including brief didactic presentations followed by small group discussion.
During the small group discussion participants' manuscripts will be critiqued by their classmates and the lecturers.
Topics of the didactic sessions will include: formulation of a research question, conducting a literature review, the IMRAD format,writing for scientific journals, translation, submission, peer review, revisions and publicizing published work. Participants will be exposed to variety of software tools for research and writing, both proprietary (e.g. Reference Manager) and available for free on the web
(e.g. www.connotea.org).
Target
Audience:
All participants are expected to bring a manuscript to the sessions with the understanding that it will be critiqued within a small group. We expect participants to edit their work in the course of the week. Participants will also be expected to read and critique the work of their classmates. The course will be conducted primarily in Spanish.
Attention: This will be a one day course only - to be held on July 14th.
