Example-Based Learning as a Guide for Revising a Peer-Reviewed Manuscript

Abstract

Publishing medical research is an increasingly competitive process for junior researchers. One critical step is revising a manuscript with editorial team feedback. This article's purpose is to utilize a novel example-based learning approach to provide trainees and junior faculty with ten steps on how to successfully navigate the manuscript peer-review process. To this end, each step in the proposed guide is correlated with the authors' most recent publication experience, with key manuscript and editor response letter versions made available through an open-access digital repository.

Keywords: Example-based learning; Knowledge acquisition; Medical student research; Peer-review publication; Teaching methods.
