In this hands on session participants will firstly consider why some journal articles are accepted and why some are not. They will then work through a 'tiny text' (the abstract) to develop their distinctive contribution to a specific journal. Finally, they will refine their argument and develop a re-drafting plan, using strategic headings, section weightings, and signposts.
