Urology & Continence Care Today is brought to you by Wound Care People, whose team of editors have many years of experience in editing clinical articles and supporting authors. On our social media channels, we have run a series of videos sharing our tips and expertise to help both new and experienced authors to make the writing process easier and understand how they can optimise their chances of getting their article published.
We’ve brought these all together in one easy-to-access guide, so the next time you’re starting to write an article, spend a few minutes watching these first and hopefully they will help you make the process a bit more straightforward.
As you will see, the longest section is ‘Before you start’. Planning what you are going to write for which audience, who (if anyone) you are going to write it with and which journal you are going to submit to is critical – time spent focussing on this is always time well spent.
