The very interesting workshop, Nurturing a Successful Academic/Early Professional Publishing Career, will be held at the SAVIR 2015 conference in New Orleans next month. The workshop will be held from 4.45pm to 6.00pm in the Oak Alley room, Sheraton Hotel.

Why are we holding this workshop? Because academic environments expect early career professionals to publish for their advancement in their career yet many university programs provide limited opportunities to their students to develop these abilities. The aim of this roundtable is to provide such opportunity for students and early career professionals in an informal setting. In this event, students and early career professionals will be able to closely interact and discuss with editors of leading injury research journals on the issues of identifying the right journal for your manuscript, writing informative abstracts, reporting statistical information, and how to address reviewer comments. This session is aimed at enhancing the capacity on improving the writing skills of early career injury researcher.

There will be two parallel roundtable sessions covering issues related to scientific manuscript preparation and publication. Discussions will focus on the following topics: writing informative abstracts,  how to address reviewer comments, how to identify the right journal for your manuscript, tips and suggestions for overcoming writers block, reporting statistical information: do’s and don’ts, and finally some common mistakes that you see made by researchers when publishing.

The roundtables will be limited to a total of 13 and 12 participants including the discussion leaders. The editorial board will consist of Dr. , Injury Prevention; Dr. Linda Degutis, Injury Prevention, Dr. Guohua Li, Injury Epidemiology; Dr. Frederick Rivara, JAMA Pediatrics; and Dr. Shrikant Bangdiwala, International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion.
