PART I: How to Write and Review a Medical Article
Jonathan Trobe, MD
The presenter will present "do's" and "don'ts" about writing and reviewing medical manuscripts based on his experience as editor of the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology and as a writer and reviewer of such manuscripts. Audience members will be shown
examples of bad work and asked to correct it. After this session, attendees should know how to:
- Write A Title for a Medical Article that allows the reader and search engine to get the idea of what is in the article;
- Write an Abstract that captures the essence of the article;
- Write an Introduction that answers why the study was undertaken;
- Present Results in text and illustrations that clearly displays what was found;
- Write a Discussion that places the findings in context and explains their significance.

PART II: Your copyrights, your publications, and your intellectual property: how can you make the most of it?
Mary Youngkin and Allyson Mower, Eccles Health Sciences Library
Librarians from Eccles Library will discuss current scholarly publishing concerns primarily focusing on protecting YOUR copyrights, participating in open access publications, and preserving your scholarly materials in digital repositories. This workshop features the ways and means for you to manage your research and ensure that it receives the widest possible distribution and has the greatest impact in the scholarly community.
The librarians will identify tools, such as the SPARC Author Addendum, which is a legal instrument that modifies the publisher's agreement and allows you to keep key rights to your articles. The Author Addendum is a free resource developed by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) in partnership with Creative Commons and Science Commons. All are established non-profit organizations that offer a range of copyright options for many different creative endeavors.
In addition, the workshop will describe innovations in digital archiving. Institutional repositories (IR) and discipline specific repositories such as NOVEL are becoming increasingly important, in combination with trusted open access sites like PubMed Central, as permanent repositories for your scholarly work. The librarians will describe the value and benefits (and NIH mandates) of these efforts to keep scholarly communications archived and accessible for the future.
WEDNESDAY: February 14, 1:30 - 4:45
Session: Enhancing Your Skills With PowerPoint, Pubmed, And EndNote Skills
This 3 hour workshop will be divided into three parts, devoting one hour to each of these three tools. These three software applications were selected based on the responses from members in a recent survey. The Eccles Health Sciences Library will be collaborating with the NANOS Web Education Committee as a sponsor of this program. The library will provide as many as 20 lap tops for members to use for hands on practice. Members will also be invited to bring their own lap tops. Each of the three sessions will provide a lecture demonstration, followed by time to practice directly with the software. Exercises will be provided to give members some specific examples of meaningful uses of the tools.
