Publishing Pearls: Making Your Manuscript Shine for Publication

This champions information sharing webinar is designed for health-care providers and students to explore strategies for manuscript development and publication of their best practice champions work and experiences.  

This webinar focuses on the “do's and don’t's” of manuscript preparation, successful approaches to manuscript acceptance and will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to prepare and submit a manuscript for publication.  

Preparing a manuscript for publication can sometimes feel like a daunting task but sharing the work that you do as a RNAO best practice champion can help others improve their practices and can lead  to better health-care outcomes.  

This webinar will provide practical strategies for developing a manuscript and will outline approaches to increase the possibility of successful publication.  The presentation will review possible ideas for RNAO best practice manuscripts, key elements needed to create an effective manuscript, considerations when choosing a journal or platform for publication and the timeline of the publication process.

During this presentation, participants will learn how to: 

• capture in a manuscript, their experiences, results and lessons learned as a result of their RNAO best practice champions work; 
• gain a better understanding of the required elements of a manuscript and the publication process; and
• explore some of the publishing platform options available for their manuscript.

Features:

• interactive discussion with the presenter  and the participants
• opportunity to brainstorm possible manuscript ideas with the presenter
