This workshop is part of a series of workshops offered at EUSPR conferences. It is specifically aimed at those at the beginning of their careers in prevention (early career).
It is designed to help researchers improve their skills in writing scientific articles. It aims to provide practical guidance on how to structure, write, and prepare a clear and strong manuscript that meets international publication standards.
The workshop will be divided into two parts:
In the first part, all participants will attend a plenary session. This session will cover the key elements of scientific writing, including how to organize the main sections of a manuscript (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion), how to write effective titles and abstracts, and how to avoid common mistakes. This workshop will focus on writing the methods section of a manuscript.
In the second part, participants will be divided into two small groups based on their main interest:
- Group 1: Qualitative research methods section
- Group 2: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) methods section
Each group will work with real excerpts from published manuscripts. Participants will analyze and discuss these excerpts using relevant reporting guidelines (e.g., COREQ for qualitative studies, CONSORT for RCTs). The goal is to help participants recognize the characteristics of high-quality writing and understand how to apply guidelines to improve the clarity, transparency, and scientific rigor of their own work.
The workshop will be co-facilitated by Zila Sanchez and Giovanni Aresi, Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor, respectively, of the Journal of Prevention, the Official Journal of the European Society for Prevention Research.
