Getting your research published 7 tips for healthcare

professionals

1Present your findings at a conferenceIt can help you gain valuable feedback from peers, and help you focus on the most important aspects of your findings to outline your manuscript.

2Choose the right journalBe sure to select a journal that has clinical relevance and impact in your field. The most historic and prestigious journals are not always the most appropriate.

3Meet the requirements of the journal

Each journal has its own format, style, traditions and special interest. Before you write your manuscript, check the “Instructions for Authors” thoroughly.

4Make sure your research is up-to-date and referenced

Other publications can confirm, refute or change the context of your findings, so be sure to check that your review of the literature is up-to-date.

5Write the main body of the manuscriptYou have presented your arguments, found the right journal and checked your literature, now write your paper!*

*Remember, the majority of manuscripts follow the IMRAD format of introduction, method, results and discussion

6Write a compelling abstractAlthough it’s the shortest part of your paper, it will receive the most attention. Write it last, and take your time to make it exceptional.

7Take rejection on the chinNo one can guarantee the acceptance of a manuscript for publication.

Find out why the journal rejected your work, re-work it, and either ask for a reconsideration or try another journal.
