1. #TBThursday to the first paper I published on #women's #health and #exercise: nrcresearchpress.com/doi/full/10.11… A few important lessons learned I try to remember with every paper I write or contribute to:
1. Keep an excel statistical workbook for analyses run and highlight values used in Tables and text (super helpful for later verifying data when PI asks and during proofing stage). E.g. screen shot.
2. Think about the mechanisms when interpreting findings! What’s the physiology behind the direction of change?
3. Pay close attention to editorial edits by colleagues (then PhD advisors ... thanks @NWilliams_Kines) as good writing is key for effectively communicating findings. Investigators show/demonstrate…. objects don’t show.
4. Don’t overlook the importance of details in figures i.e. thickness of lines, size of text, symmetry of panels, etc. Once published…. you can never change :(
5. Don’t underestimate the time it takes to produce good quality work, but, most of all, have fun with it!
