Welcome everyone!
After this course you will be better in writing a scientific article, not only because you will learn a lot, but also because I will give feedback on your own text!
In this course I will share my experiences with writing scientific papers with you. The course is especially useful for clinical researchers within medicine, as this is my background. But even if you are not specifically in this field, it may still be of benefit for you! You could use the course for your thesis, research paper, research proposal or just to polish your academic writing skills!
Feedback and comments are obviously more than welcome, that way I can further improve the course whilst working on it! The course is now mainly lecture-based, with a few templates incorporated, let me know if another learning strategy works better for you!
The methods and results section are divided in subsections for: review papers (making use of the PRISMA statement), cohort studies (STROBE checklist) and randomized controlled trials (CONSORT statement). This way you can focus on what you need most!
This course is divided into five comprehensive sections:
1. Introduction
2. Overview of different types of papers (i.e. evidence pyramid/research methodology)
3. Introducing your work (introduction/background section)
4. Writing about what you did (methods section)
5. Writing about what you observed (results section)
6. Writing about your interpretation (discussion section)
7. Catching the attention of the reader (abstract)
8. What comes after writing
9. The publishing process
10. Final remarks
