Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ will visit doctors, students and researchers across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) from October 12 - 17, 2015 to help them develop their research skills and learn how to write papers that can get published in top journals.
Dr Trish Groves, Deputy Editor and Head of Research at The BMJ and Editor-in-Chief BMJ Open, an international online journal, will present a workshop on 'BMJ Research Capabilities
- How to Get Your Research Papers Published' at the 2nd Saudi International Conference on Scientific Publishing 2015 at King Saud University in Riyadh.
Following her workshop, Dr Groves will travel to six leading universities across the KSA to deliver workshops to groups of medical students, researchers and faculty staff. She will make her first stop at the Princess Nourah University and Alfaisal University on October 12, 2015, followed by Kau Hospital in Jeddah on October 13.
Dr Groves will then visit King Fahad Medical City and King Saud University on October 14, the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs on October 15, and finally to Dammam University on October 17.
In addition, Dr Ahmad Risk, BMJ Clinical Director, KSA will visit a number of medical schools over the coming months, providing ongoing support to students and researchers.
The workshops are based on BMJ's new online e-learning programme 'Research to Publication', which provides early career researchers with the knowledge and skills they need to become published authors.
The online training programme, in collaboration with the University of California San Francisco, comprises stand-alone, self-study modules that guide learners through the process of designing, conducting, writing, submitting, and publishing their work in an international journal.
To mark the launch of the programme, BMJ in partnership with Saudi Digital Library (SDL) is offering five students the chance to win 12 months of complimentary access through a Research Capabilities Award. The five lucky winners will receive a year's access to Research to Publication as well as expert guidance from Dr Groves and the opportunity to publish their work in BMJ Open.
