You have a great idea for a research article—but how do you turn that idea into an article for publication? In this session, the JDE editorial team will discuss where great ideas come from, the importance of publishing your work, the JDE’s publishing process, and tips for getting started on writing. Next the team will walk participants through an example of a “big idea” and how to get from that idea to a focused research question using PICOT and FINER tools. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply the tools presented to their own big ideas. Finally, the JDE Editor will close the session by providing additional tips for writing and publishing a research article.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the reasons why publishing research is important.
Explain how to go from a “big idea” to a focused research question using the PICOT and FINER tools.
Identify three ways to cultivate collaboration with colleagues on your manuscript.
