Instructor: Young-Joo Lee, Data Informationist, Welch Medical Library

Description: A wealth of health data on the web can be used for secondary analysis, but this data can be challenging to find. Join Young-Joo Lee, Data Informationist at Welch Medical Library to learn strategies for locating statistics and datasets. The class will cover various topics, including:

• The US government agencies that collect health data
• Health datasets that are widely used by researchers
• Tips for using PubMed and Google to find health statistics
• Demo of data databases subscribed to by Johns Hopkins
• Search engines and portals for data search
• Welch Library data search guides

We will describe best practices in coaching scholarly writing and editing, including use of analytic rubrics for content, style, and form (to objectively analyze the effectiveness of text), and checklists for different elements of a research paper. Participants will assess anonymous samples of scholarly writing (clinical and basic science, text and tables) and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the samples. Participants will then use rubrics to re-analyze the samples, and derive objective scores based on the key elements of scholarly communication. Finally, participants will draft a commentary and actionable list of the most important points for the author to address in revision. The workshop will include didactic instruction and individual exercises, and participants will receive a packet of guidance and assessment materials to use when coaching their trainees.
 

Objectives

This workshop is designed to:

• increase the participant's skills in coaching their trainees to write high-quality research papers for peer-reviewed journals
• introduce participants to tools they can use when coaching and evaluating their trainees during manuscript preparation.

 
Behaviors Impacted

• provide their trainees with more objective feedback on their scholarly writing
• offer more constructive/actionable criticisms of their trainees' writing
• use tools to enable more efficient review of their trainees' writing.

For School of Medicine staff, faculty members and trainees

Please join us on Sept. 28, for a School of Medicine Research Integrity Colloquium featuring a discussion of authorship issues in the context of the mentor/mentee relationship. If you are a postdoctoral fellow, how can you address concerns about your role as author on a manuscript? If you are a PI, how should you approach authorship with trainees and other contributors?

The conversation will feature Dr. Antony Rosen, Vice Dean for Research, Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Division of Rheumatology; Dr. Thomas Cudjoe, Assistant Professor of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology in the Department of Medicine, and Dr. Joanna Konopka, Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience and Co-chair of the Johns Hopkins Postdoctoral Association. The panel will discuss case scenarios and best practices and there will be time for questions and discussion.
