Writing Resources

Publishing papers has for years been the primary channel for sharing knowledge with others in the field or in related fields.  It is vital to sharpen the skill of writing in order to demonstrate your ability to comprehend, draw inferences, and to receive critical peer feedback.  Writing adds to the overall body of research.  The following writing resources are intended to assist in the writing process from idea to conclusion.  As a reminder, publications, presentations, or other outcomes resulting from research supported in whole or part by a Translational Research Institute resource or service are to be appropriately cited.
