Publishing Your Research–I

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 February 2017

Extract

The following recommendations and suggestions are gleaned from my experience as EMS section editor for an emergency medicine journal. I do not pretend that they are definitive or objective. Nevertheless, to the extent it is helpful to know what passes through the consciousness of one editor, I offer these to individuals wishing to make the transition from aspiring author to published author. May you be successful in adding your contribution to the knowledge of our specialty and profession.
