How to get published in scientific journals (with the editors of the Journal of Infection, and Clinical Infection in Practice)

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, December 11, 2025 • Duration 39:00

In this episode we ask the experts (Professor Robert Read and Professor Martyn Wiselka, editors of the JOI and CLIP respectively) about how to get published in academic journals. We discuss about how journal articles can better reflect the patients we are treating, the impact of AI and Open Access, and even found out what research they are interested in. You can also find out what will make the world collapse, and how to slice salami.

Those papers were:

COVID-19 vaccination in patients at higher risk of anaphylaxis: A safe and pragmatic approach https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590170225001207?dgcid=rss_sd_all

Safety, Efficacy, and Immunogenicity of a Salmonella Paratyphi A Vaccine

http://nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2502992

And Professor Read’s first Journal of Infection article in 1989 on EBV https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016344538991150X?via%3Dihub
