WORKSHOP 2: How to Publish: An Author Workshop

Description/Overview: This two-part workshop will first explain the process nurses should follow to publish their research in a qualified journal. Writing for publication in scholarly journals can be considered a “journey.” But writing for publication has, for most, become a requisite of professional practice – for educators, nurses and managers - as a means of communicating the findings of research; sharing new developments, innovations and best practices; and stimulating discussions on local, national and international stages. Knowing what to expect from journal editors and publishers is a good way to make sure the process is smooth for those wishing to capitalize on their research and become recognized in the industry. This workshop will help participants to lay the foundations for successful publication and gain the basic skills of the scholarship of writing for publication.
