Learning strategy
Extensive work together
as both
author and reader/reviewer

Reader/reviewers
contribute to your paper
throughout its development
from the earliest informal reader,
to coauthors,
to formal journal peer reviewers.

The scientific evidence for how
peer review works is slim
• Three decades of quadrennial
Congresses on the “Contribution of
Peer Review to Scientific Publication”
• Systematic reviews of journal peer
review

The variability in findings of studies of peer review is probably because the research methods
that have been employed do not serve complex social processes
well. -Overbeke and Wager

Peer review is an improvement
process• Your published paper is the product of countless
reader/reviewers’ contributions—criticism, expert
advice, suggestions and counsel from colleagues
along the way to publication.
• It follows a path of classical principles of
improvement—systematic assessments that
ultimately contribute in formal and informal ways to its
progressive improvement.
• There are general rules that apply at each of the
progressive steps in that path.

Strategies for your successful
journal submission
• Start by identifying your intended reader
• Develop a writing style that speaks directly to your reader
• Use a systematic process to identify early the journal that is likely to find that reader
![Page 14: Welcome A writing workshop to help you publish your workapp.ihi.org/.../Presentation_SL5_A_Writing_Workshop_Stevens.pdf · Welcome A writing workshop to help you publish your work](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062911/5c9b1fd409d3f208428b7b8f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Develop a writing style that speaks directly
to your reader.

“Forget your generalized audience.In the first place, the nameless,
faceless audience will scare you to death and in the second place,
unlike the theater, it doesn’t exist.In writing, your audience is one single reader.
I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person — a real
person you know, or an imagined personand write to that one.”
-John Steinbeck, In a 1962 letter to his friendRobert Wallsten

“Who is your reader?”
• What’s your paper’s message, in a
sentence?
• Who do you want to hear that
message?
• Who were your paper’s subjects?
• Who were the professionals involved
in your work?
![Page 17: Welcome A writing workshop to help you publish your workapp.ihi.org/.../Presentation_SL5_A_Writing_Workshop_Stevens.pdf · Welcome A writing workshop to help you publish your work](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062911/5c9b1fd409d3f208428b7b8f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use a systematic process for selecting a journal
• “Why would this journal’s readers want to read my paper?” Is there a fit with their interests?
• Consider several pragmatic issues: editorial idiosyncrasies, would count, publication guidelines, instructions to authors
• Narrow to 3 journals and scan recent issues for current topics, methods, and themes
• Make a decision early before getting too far into the revision process

A strategy for finding your journalStart with your reader
1. Working alone, address in 1 to 5 sentences the question : “Who is my reader?” – 10 minutes
2. Working in pairs, discuss – 15 minutes
3. Working further in pairs: what journal is likely to lead to this reader? – 10 minutes
4. Large groupl discussion – 10 minutes
