Why publish?

Why should I publish?

Ask yourself:

  • What is my goal in doing this paper?
  • Do I have any resource restrictions
  • Ethical considerations?
  • Has my query recently been covered in the literature? 
  • Target audience profile?

The appropriate study type will depend on the answers to the above and your focused question

Your Library can:

  • provide information on reporting requirements for different study types 
  • indicate the appropriate quality checklists for your study type and support their implementation

Anything else?

  • Use the single consistent affiliation description for each hospital, for the Group, and/or for your affiliated Academic body.
  • Include your ORCID ID
  • Check the publisher’s Author Guidelines

Your Library can: 

  • help in formatting or checking the reference style 
  • advise on the affiliation styles
