Book chapter: Essentials of writing a paper

Medical researchers frequently face rejection by journal editors and peer-reviewers. They find it difficult to navigate the process of publication of medical manuscripts. There is a lack of knowledge about the journal assessment mechanisms, which makes it hard to get accepted, and wastes time in the rejection-resubmission cycle. The purpose of the book chapter below is to familiarize new authors with unwritten rules that will help in the publication of their manuscripts, giving writing tips to increase the probability of a manuscript being accepted on the first submission.

Webinar: Getting Research Published

Publication is the currency with which medical careers make progress at every level, determining the outcome of appointments and promotions. Most doctors, even those trained in research, frequently face rejection from medical journals. 

Perfection in health and medical research is demanded at every stage. English is a universal health research language. Taking ideas from hypothesis generation to publication and impact is a difficult and time-consuming task. Attention to detail is required in framing questions, developing study design, writing protocols, medical resumes, seeking ethical and regulatory approvals, overseeing study conduct, planning data analyses, manuscript writing, peer-review, revisions, and dissemination.
