NRHA: Ever wanted to get an article published in a refereed journal?
Support for getting published in the Australian Journal of Rural Health
Have you ever wanted to get an article published in a refereed journal and wondered what the trick is? If so, there is useful information and support for you on the website and on a special new CD ROM from the National Rural Health Alliance.
The material is from a Writing for Publication Seminar held by the Australian Journal of Rural Health in conjunction with the 9th National Rural Health Conference in Albury in March. Topics covered include the principles of good writing; preparing a scientific paper; specific tips for getting published in the Australian Journal of Rural Health; and how on-line submission of manuscripts works for authors and referees.
You can listen to the audio stream of the papers or read the transcripts.
The seminar presentations are by James Dunbar, Editor of the AJRH; Prasuna Reddy, Assistant Editor; Vanessa Farrant from Blackwell Publishing Asia; and Denis Muller. Denis Muller had a 27-year career in journalism, nearly all of it at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. He was Chief Sub-editor, News Editor and Assistant Editor of the Herald and Associate Editor of The Age.
