Abstract

PARRISH, A G  and  GROSSMAN, E S. But is it publishable? Mastering the MMed message. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2020, vol.110, n.8, pp.753-755. ISSN 2078-5135.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2020.v110i8.14770.

The research requirement for South African specialist registration offers opportunities and challenges. For some clinicians it may spark a lifelong interest in clinical investigation, while for many others it may provide a potential publication opportunity. Integrating the specific requirements of an MMed mini-dissertation with those of standard medical publications can be difficult for first-time authors and their supervisors; published guidance caters to full-length laboratory Master's or doctoral research. We suggest that research is more likely to be publishable if it is locally relevant, has a clear clinical message and is coherently presented.
