Are you:

• Ready to transform your research into a manuscript suitable for a peer-reviewed publication?
• Find out what editors want and gain confidence in your writing
• New to scientific publishing in that you have never published an article before?

This face to face retreat workshop will allow you to be introduced to and review the process of creating scientific papers that are logically organized, concisely written, and attentive to reader and reviewer expectations.

You will prepare and present the main sections of a research paper in the IMRAD (introduction, methods, results, and discussion) format, and receive constructive critiques and written comments. By the end of the sessions, you will have a more polished draft that can stand up to rigorous peer review.
