Welcome everyone!

In this course I will share my experiences with writing scientific papers with you. The course is especially useful for clinical researchers within medicine, as this is my background. But even if you are not specifically in this field, it may still be of benefit for you!You could use the course for your thesis, research paper, research proposal or just to polish your academic writing skills!

The components of this course are published on the go, as I work on it besides my regular work. Feedback and comments are obviously more than welcome, that way I can further improve the course whilst working on it!

This course is divided into five comprehensive sections:

1. Introduction

2. Overview of different types of papers (i.e. evidence pyramid/research methodology)

3. Writing your paper (introduction, methods, results, conclusion)

4. What comes after writing

5. Final remarks
