To get ahead in research, you need to write papers and publish them in peer-reviewed journals. This online course will help you write journal papers and get them published in the most effective way.
The course will include five weekly Zoom sessions of about an hour and a half each plus work in between. The course will also be using Spatial Chat for informal networking; this allows more natural interactions than Zoom as you can talk in pairs or small groups as you wish. These short, optional networking sessions will take place at 11:30 after each Zoom session. In each session we will discuss the course material in small groups, answer questions and do exercises together. Presentations will be provided as recorded videos, and they, together with handouts, exercise instructions, quizzes and opportunities for written discussion, will be provided via Cofactor’s Moodle site. You will need to put aside about 16 hours to complete the course.
This course was developed by Cofactor founder Anna Sharman, an experienced researcher trainer who has been a postdoc, an in-house biology journal editor and a publishing consultant. The interactive sessions will be run by Anna together with Bruce Johnson, one of Cofactor’s experienced associate trainers.
The course is for early career researchers and PhD students who are working in applied or basic or social care research at one of NIHR ARC South London's academic partners or at our partner NHS trusts.
