-a ______ and _____ process that includes
1)S
2) Ex
3) E
4)D
This process takes place within a _____ system of interactions between researchers and knowledge users which may vary in intensity, complexity and level of engagement depending on the nature of the research and the findings as well as the needs of the particular knowledge user and _____ process that includes
-a DYNAMIC and ITERATIVE process that includes
1)Synthesis
The research you produce
2) Exchange
3) Ethically-sound application of knowledge
4)Dissemination
Conference presentations
Publication
This process takes place within a complex system of interactions between researchers and knowledge users which may vary in intensity, complexity and level of engagement depending on the nature of the research and the findings as well as the needs of the particular knowledge user
Conference Presentation
Conferences
Purpose:
ØPre
ØNet
-Presenting new research can be a useful way to get feedback on a project before submitting the work for review by a journal
-Networking and exchanging ideas
Structure:
-c

-Concurrent sessions of oral presentations (typically 4-5 people each for about 10-15 minutes)
-Exhibitions
-Plenary sessions with keynote addresses
-Poster sessions (a designated time during a conference when researchers display printed placards and are expected to be available to talk about their posters with other attendees)
-Business meetings
How to Get in a Conferences
1)Conduct
2)Find
3)Submit
4)Respect
1)Conduct a good research (single most important thing!)
2)Find a conference that might be interested in your research
3)Submit a well-written abstract (abstracts will usually get printed and shared with attendees)
4)Respect all requirements including (not limited to) due dates, words counts, priorities of topics, etc.
Poster Presentations
-D
-O
-E
-Design and aesthetics as important as the content
There are a variety of templates, specialized graphic design software, presentation software program
A simple PowerPoint also works
-One good strategy is to present your drafts to your research group, mentors, classmates about one week before the conference
-Ensure you are not violating any copyrights and properly cite evidence
Note : more than 5 references in a poster is not recommended
Oral Presentations
In almost all health science conferences oral presentation is by using a set of computerized slides to guide the talk and provide visual information to the audience

-P
-
Highlight the key messages in few words
Use images as often as is appropriate
Don’t read off the slides
Remember: you are not teaching but reporting your research
Practice makes a positive experience more likely
Why we have to publish
1)D
2) U
3) R
1)Direct professional benefits for researchers
2)Unpublished research=not existing research
3)Respect for the time and efforts of participants and collaborators
The peer review process:
-Time consuming and sometime disappointing
-Also, an opportunity (the best!) to receive expert and constructive feedback to improves science
Which Journal?
Think about it at the early stages of writing the article

-C

-R
-P
-S
-D
-W
-Clear explanation of existence and the type of peer review process, duration, acceptance rate
-the Audience: readership that the publication intends to reach
-Ranking (impact factor, bibliometric)
-the Print and online availability of the journal
-the Scope: the subject areas the publication covers
-Data sharing availability or requirements
-Whether the journal is indexed in preferred databases
Access to the Articles
Subscription journal:
covers its costs from library and/or individual subscriptions and advertising and does not charge any author fees
-Most articles are placed behind a paywall
-The many articles we have access via the library has been paid for by Western
Open-access journal:
mandates that authors pay a publication fee (sometimes several thousand dollars!) before their manuscripts are published
-The content of these journals is freely available to readers on the Internet
-Most grants set aside funding for publication
Hybrid journal
option of paying to make an article freely available to all
-Authors with funding may opt to pay for open access under this model
-Authors without funding may publish at no cost, but their articles will be behind a paywall
Copyright
The legal rights assigned to the owners of intellectual property such as written and artistic works
*
-Authors require to assign the copyright for a manuscript to the publisher before their articles are published
-Open access publishers typically allow authors to retain the copyright for their articles
-A Creative Commons (CC) license is a public copyright license that enables the free distribution of a copyrighted work

-Publication might even represent bad on your CV
-Unsolicited spam to email addresses, promise a very quick time to decision and publication, have poorly written web content
-Many open-access journals are well respected, have strong peer-review systems, but be aware of deceptive pay-to-publish schemes
-Admire your research a lot, general topics mostly unrelated to your research
-No quality editorial and peer-review services, not transparent about their policies, author guidelines, fees
-A growing number of dubious journals being launched that accept nearly every submission upon receipt of payment
Final Words
Health research is a process in which you produce results, evaluate, possibly re-do part of the work, and re-evaluate
ØMostly a progressive process that needs constant learning
ØSometimes a little bit of an iterative process
ØAppling ‘methods’ is an important part of health research process
ØKnowledge of the content of the research topics as well as tasks such as ethical considerations, communication, knowledge translation is also crucial for a successful research program
DESIGN: retrospective cohort versus case-control
