Facilitator: Dr Cate McIntosh
Time: 10.00am - 12.30pm
Fee: $20 per person
Location: RNC conference room 2, John Hunter Hospital
This research workshop will prepare authors for the submission, peer review and response process. The 2.5 hour workshop will explain what reviewers look for when examining a manuscript submitted to a journal. It will suggest how to do justice to the hard work of designing and conducting a study by describing your research in a way that engages the audience to find out more. The workshop is suitable for anyone interested in improving the quality of their academic writing whether submitting a manuscript for publication in a peer reviewed journal, or an abstract to a conference. It will also suit anyone interested in contributing to the process of peer review by serving as a reviewer. The workshop is suitable for a range of skill levels. Participants will have the opportunity to practice reviewing and re-crafting a simulated manuscript. At the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify potentially suitable target journals for your work
- Describe the pathway for becoming a peer reviewer
- Identify strengths and weaknesses of manuscripts that result in acceptance or rejection
SATURDAY 25TH JUNE
Problem Based Learning (PBL) Sessions
