The publishing process and recent trends in publishing
Led by Professor Roger Watson, FRSA FSB, FHEA, FEANS, FFNMRCSI, FRCN, FAAAN, Professor of Nursing, University of Sheffield, UK and Editor of the Journal of Clinical Nursing
20.00-21.30 hours Monday 3 September 2012

This session is designed to familiarise people who are relatively new to publishing with the process, from submission through to acceptance. Some guidance to increase acceptance (mainly by obviating rejection) and how to get started with writing will be covered.

Recent trends in publication include the frequent use of standardised guidelines for presenting randamised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews and also the use, by publishers, of anti-plagiarism software and an overview of these trends will be provided.

There will also be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

If you have any questions regarding any aspects of this conference please speak to Anna at Jill Rogers Associates.
