Introduction to the publication development process

I know that writing a research paper can be an overwhelming task. There's just so many elements that we need to focus on.

That's why before we start discussing how you can write a research paper, I want us to explore the publication development process.

In this session, I break down the process you've got to go through to publish your work into manageable pieces. We will discuss the research, writing and peer-review process, and any relevant interconnections between these.

Remember, to publish in the top journals in your research field you need to understand the process that you need to go through, as well as the requirements of the editors and reviewers.

Session outcomes
