This course is designed to prepare students to write and publish scholarly articles.

A second component of the course focuses on practical elements including: determining scope and focus of a manuscript, audience, content and language of writing, selecting journals, journal expectations and preparing different types of manuscripts (research report, theoretical, policy-related and practice). Students learn to edit their own and others' manuscripts. Issues of authorship and publishing ethics are also addressed. An outcome of the course is expected to be a manuscript of publishable quality and a list of appropriate target journals.
