Aim and background
This workshop aims to teach scientific writing skills. Being able to publish your work is critical for
researchers, but many lack these skills. Knowing how to prepare a logical, structured scientific
publication enables your research to be disseminated. These skills also assist with writing research
proposals, ethics applications and reports.
Methods
This workshop, run on behalf of the WONCA Working Party on Research, will teach generic skills on
how to write. There will be a short presentation followed by an interactive session. You will learn how
to structure your material logically by answering the questions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Why is this important? (Social value/rationale)
What do you already know? (Scientific value/background)
What knowledge gap will you fill? (Aim)
What did you do and how? (Methods)
What did you find? (Results)
So what? (Discussion)
You will learn how to use consistent syntax and many tips about how to write in English, especially
valuable for those whose for whom English is not their first language. Having learnt the skills,
participants will work together in small groups identifying errors in a provided work and will have the
later opportunity to practice rewriting this.
Depending on numbers and participant experience, there may be a separate presentation for more
experienced researchers on how to publish in a peer-reviewed journal. The workshop will conclude
with whole-group report-back and discussion.
