The course appeals to the young researcher just about to write his or her first paper to an international peer-reviewed journal about a clinical research project. After having attended the course the participants know how to structure a scientific paper and what characterizes scientific writing style. They know how to benefit from what is already written in the protocol and they have learned to have the manuscript in mind already when writing the research protocol. Furthermore, the participants fully understand the importance of following the instructions to authors when submitting a manuscript; how to formulate the accompanying letter, and how to keep an effective and mutual respecting contact and collaboration with the editorial office. They know about the importance of selecting the journal for submission in order to reach the readers they are aiming at. They have learned about what characterizes a good reviewer assessment of a manuscript and how to revise a manuscript taking notice of the reviewers’ and editor's comments and recommendations. The participants have been given an overview of the pathway of a manuscript from the moment it leaves the author's desk/computer and until it is fully published by an international peer-reviewed journal. The course is a mixture of presentations given by the teacher and dialogue between the teacher and the participants.
