Writing for academic journals can be very competitive, but is a fantastic way to share your research.
When writing a new piece:
- Consider the logic of the information that you are presenting
- Make your argument clear throughout the paper
- Choose an experienced senior colleague to be your main point of contact for help and advice.
- Consider your audience. They may be outside of your immediate field of study
- Thoroughly explain your methods. Further details can often be added in an appendix
- Consider pre-registering your study design and methods
