James Munro University of Sheffield
Why write?
Fame and fortune Bolster the CV Pressure from above … dissemination

BMJ approach
What is already known on this topic? What does this study add?

Outline your story: 1

Context

Once upon a time… …there were 3 bears…

Methods

The need to know

Providing a context and a question creates the reader’s “need to know”

What’s the story?
If this was a news report, what would the headline be? What is the central idea?

Where were other papers on this topic published?
Journalology
Refereed or not? Listed in bibliographic databases? Impact factor?

More ideas

Conclusions

Don’t start writing yet!
Who is the story for?
Who’d like to know? Who needs to know?

Methods
What did you do? How did you do it? Have a logical order Don’t report results here by mistake!

Results

Select one of the journals which might be interested in your story Write for that journal

Writing for that journal
