All You Need to Know to Publish Your Research

Wednesday, October 16th 1:00 – 3:00 PM EST online via Zoom

This webinar aims to empower health sciences librarians to develop original research article manuscripts that will be successful in navigating the peer review process. You will gain insights from the Journal of the Medical Library Association’s (JMLA’s) editorial staff into how to draft articles that more effectively communicate the results of your research projects. During this interactive webinar, Alexander Carroll will discuss the “moves” you can make as an author to craft meaningful context and compelling descriptions of your research projects, as well as how to present your findings in a way that will resonate with reviewers and JMLA’s readership. Alexander will also share insider tips and tricks, including how to avoid some of the most common pitfalls and traps that can keep your research from reaching readers. For librarians who assist others in the publishing process, the concepts covered in this session easily translate and will improve your skillset in this area.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  *   Explain the rhetorical function of each section of a research-based journal article (e.g., introduction / literature review, methods, results, and discussion)
  *   Describe how these rhetorical functions can be leveraged to communicate the results of research projects more effectively
  *   Identify common mistakes made by authors when drafting a journal manuscript
  *   List techniques for responding to peer reviewers’ and editor’s comments effectively

Audience
This session is designed for librarians at all experience levels – no prior experience with journal publishing is required to attend. Any practitioners looking for ways to deepen their expertise in developing more effective article manuscripts, whether brand new to original research or seasoned authors, are encouraged to attend.

CE Details: Participants will receive 2 MLA credit hours.
