After the hours of painstaking research you are finally ready to write and submit your work for publication. The peer review process is acknowledged by the scientific community as the most effective way to ensure quality control in the publication of research findings. In this session gain a unique insight into what to do and what definitely not to do when submitting your paper for publication.
Whilst it is accepted that peers are best qualified to detect mistakes in research methodology and also judge whether a unique advance in knowledge in the field has been made, the current system is far from perfect and some would argue that it can make or break your career. We will also discuss the system as a whole and how you can get the best out of it.
What constitutes the ideal article layout? What are the common flaws in those papers rejected? How can you ensure you get it right? Get a perspective from editors, early stage and experienced researchers.
