Effective scientific communication, particularly in writing and publishing research findings, is paramount in advancing science, informing policy, and enhancing professional development (1,2). Thus, the workshop titled The Academic Writing and Publishing Process: Guides and Practical Tips aims to bolster skills in scientific writing and publication among researchers, ensuring the accurate, clear, and ethical conveyance of scientific knowledge. The workshop incorporates a multifaceted approach to content and methodology, ensuring a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience for participants. Initially, participants will immerse themselves in understanding the foundational structure and crucial elements of scientific papers, exploring the well-established IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) framework, and deliberating on the vital importance of producing coherent and accessible texts. Parallelly, ethical considerations will be ardently explored, offering insights into safeguarding integrity in scientific writing by focusing on pivotal aspects such as averting plagiarism, guaranteeing accurate and honest reporting, and steadfastly adhering to authorship guidelines. Moreover, participants will be guided through the intricate labyrinth of the peer-review process, provided with a thorough overview, and strategic approaches for successful manuscript submission, adeptly responding to reviewers’ feedback, and efficiently managing subsequent revisions. Complementing the theoretical insights, the workshop will infuse engaging hands-on exercises and illustrative case studies, wherein participants will actively apply the learned concepts by meticulously drafting, reviewing, and revising sections of scientific papers, thereby cementing their understanding and skills in scientific writing and publication.
