On 19 October 2009, Elsevier will be hosting a lecuture aimed at early career researchers on 'How to write a world class paper'. There will be 2 sessions one at 10.30 and one at 2.00 on the Addenbrookes site.
During the presentation, the audience will gain insights in the way publishers, editors and reviewers look at their manuscripts, which may help them to submit better papers.
The lecture will cover those aspects, relevant when preparing and submitting a manuscript for a scientific journal e.g. originality, Hot Topics, format of the article, selection of the journal, language, building blocks, ethical and copyright issues.
Dr Riaz Agha, Managing and Executive Editor of International Journal of Surgery (and Junior Doctor at Addenbrooke's!) will present the workshop and share his experiences with the audience and answer questions.
We believe that these sessions will be oversubscribed (indeed the afternoon session is nearly full just from being advertised on the Medical Library website) and so booking is essential. Bookings can be made via the Medical library website at
