BJOG Author Workshops 2012

BJOG will be holding 3 author workshops in 2012. Come to a workshop to find out how to give your paper the best chance of being accepted. The workshops will include advice on how to prepare your submission, structure your paper and an insight into what editors hate.

Find out what goes on behind the scenes in the Editorial Office and understand the initial checks that must be passed before your paper even reaches the Editor. Hear about the editorial and peer review processes, improve your understanding of publication ethics, good reporting guidelines and registering clinical trials. Common reasons for rejection, such as poor study design and data presentation will be discussed, as well as how to enhance your submission with a video or PowerPoint presentations. There will also be a chance to hear from the publisher Wiley-Blackwell about impact factors, the H-index and how widely your article would be distributed and accessed. After attending this workshop we hope you will have a clear understanding of the peer review process and how to revise and resubmit your manuscript in response to referee and editorial comments.

Speakers will include the BJOG Editor-in-Chief, BJOG Editors, and a representative from Wiley-Blackwell.
