Transcribe →How to get published in scientific journals (with the editors of the Journal of Infection, and Clinical Infection in Practice)
Dec 1100:39:00Tap to summarizeIn this episode we ask the experts (Professor Robert Read and Professor Martyn Wiselka, editors of the JOI and CLIP respectively) about how to get published in academic journals. We discuss about how journal articles can better reflect the patients we are treating, the impact of AI and Open Access, and even found out what research they are interested in. You can also find out what will make the world collapse, and how to slice salami.Those papers were:COVID-19 vaccination in patients at higher risk of anaphylaxis: A safe and pragmatic approach https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590170225001207?dgcid=rss_sd_allSafety, Efficacy, and Immunogenicity of a Salmonella Paratyphi A Vaccinehttp://nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2502992And Professor Read’s first Journal of Infection article in 1989 on EBV https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016344538991150X?via%3DihubThanks for listening to MIC!
