1: Get and use a university affiliation. • Connection to
people involved in education research
• Student 5 years+ with registration

• Access to software and stats – SPSS WORD
Endnote Nvivo OS – Software4students – Dynamed etc. – IT discounts
• Space on the Web* • What’s a Library?

2. Start with a letter
![Page 7: 15 Mistakes Made and Lessons Learnt in Medical Education Research](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b3fb24bb61eb29488b4787/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pointless? • How do you write a
letter to a journal? • Pointless? What
does the Kieran Walsh at the BMJ think…
• But how?
• “So what? • Medline • RAE • Widely read • More interesting –
debunk • Learn • Use rules in other
settings • Single author • Low risk strategy • Commissions

3. Think about for structure and
language
![Page 9: 15 Mistakes Made and Lessons Learnt in Medical Education Research](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b3fb24bb61eb29488b4787/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Direct Quote… • “The first paragraph might briefly refer to the article,
and then refer to something complementary about the study, before stating what it is about the study that you disagree with (i.e. communicate the point of the letter).
• The middle section might expand on why you disagree with parts of the article in some more detail. Here, you can use published or unpublished data, personal anecdotes or statistics that support your views. This is the longest section, but is still concise.
• Finally, restate your major point, and wrap-up with a succinct conclusion.”

Example from Medical Education research papers. • The most important orienting question we
would like you to ask yourself while reading this manuscript is “Did I learn anything?” In answering this question, please keep in mind that Medical Education’s main criteria for judging the publishability of manuscripts are (1) Educational importance, (2) Originality, and (3) Methodological rigour, with equal weight given to each criterion.
