IN-PERSON PUBLICATION SCHOOL, 20-21 April 2023!

We are delighted to offer Publication School in person in Oxford again, after a 3-year hiatus.

Overview

The UK EQUATOR Centre’s Publication School is designed for early-career researchers and students in health research, with a focus on clinical research. It aims to give you a smooth writing process that results in a published article that is fit for purpose.

 

It broke academic writing for publication down into really manageable and achievable guidance points. Made me less worried about writing my next article!
