Scholarly publishing is an essential component of a faculty career. Yet, for many faculty, writing takes a backburner to clinical care, teaching responsibilities and administrative priorities.
With high demands on faculty’s time and energy, setting aside focused time for writing and publishing can be challenging.
“Get Published,” a seven-part workshop series hosted by UNMC Faculty Development, the McGoogan Health Sciences Library and the Interprofessional Academy of Educators, aims to advance faculty’s scholarly productivity throughout the 2024-25 academic year.
Speakers in this series will provide best practices for the research and writing process, illuminate creative strategies to publish more, better and faster, and enhance the impact of published work.
The series began Sept. 12 with a workshop from visiting faculty Gary Beck Dallaghan, PhD, assistant dean for accreditation at Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Dr. Beck Dallaghan said, “Writing scholarly work does not come naturally to anyone; it is something we learn. Even if you enjoy writing, incorporating writing time into a full schedule sometimes feels overwhelming.
“The learning community established from workshops like these provides incredible networking, resources, motivation and accountability or for faculty to accelerate their writing productivity.”
The “Get Published” series continues on Oct. 24, with a workshop from McGoogan Health Sciences Library staff about how faculty can accelerate their research and writing processes with support and efficiencies from the library.
Subsequent sessions are:
- “Accelerate Your Research with a Librarian,” Oct. 24
- “Owning, Promoting, and Tracking, Oh My!,” Dec. 5
- “Titles & Abstracts: The Real First Impression,” Jan. 9
- “No Excuses. Cross the Finish Line!,” Feb. 20
- “Turn Ideas into Scholarship,” Feb. 27
