This workshop is designed to assist faculty with publishing their research. The workshop consists of two parts: the first is an intensive one-day didactic session, which will take place on May 10th. The session focuses on writing an effective research paper: the Abstract, Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results and Discussion.

In addition, the session covers the following relevant subjects: the purpose of publication, authorship issues, presenting data, including graphs, tables and figures; understanding the peer review process; and principles of effective scientific writing. While the focus of this workshop is on writing a research paper, other types of publications are briefly discussed, including case reports and review articles.

The second part of the workshop consists of either individual or small group discussion sessions, which provide participants with feedback on two critical parts of their own manuscripts: the Abstract and Introduction. Five days prior to their discussion session, participants submit a draft of their abstract and introduction to the course director, Dr. Donna Vogel, Director- Professional Development Office.
