Summary

Research experience has become essential in the professional training of people working in the health sciences. One of the most important aspects for a clinician and a researcher is to be able to present and publicize the results of their studies within their academic community, so knowing how to write an article for an indexed journal has become extremely important in the academic training of these people. On the other hand, nowadays, having experience in research and having published articles in scientific journals is a requirement that is usually demanded at the time of doing a postgraduate degree or getting a job. At the academic level, it is increasingly common to find that universities require their students and professors to be able to generate research questions, pose hypotheses, design studies, analyze data and publish the results. The objective of this course is to provide attendees with a series of practical tips on the dos and don'ts of writing articles for high impact scientific journals.
