Focus will be on selecting the relevant content, structuring the manuscript, reading and complying with author guidelines, selecting an appropriate journal, and understanding the review process. Editors of scientific journals will share their insights and provide recommendations. Participants Targets are PhD students within the healthcare and medical sciences.
