COURSE DESCRIPTION

Doing research is only half of the picture. If the results of research studies are not published, other researchers cannot further build on it and overall science can not develop and grow. Likewise, policies and development programmes will lack evidence to base on, during their development. Importantly, as Howie once said, “Not all who look at a journal are going to read even one article in it; writers must know therefore what turns a looker into a reader”. This course is designed to enable researchers not only get their papers published, but also help them know what turns a looker of their articles into a reader. 

TARGET AUDIENCE

The course is intended to junior researchers, postgraduate students and any other interested person
