As a graduate student, writing for publication can be a daunting task. I remember my first manuscript submission took over 8 hours to complete, and I was terrified the entire time! Thankfully, throughout my graduate studies, I have become familiar with writing tools that significantly improved my writing and preparation for publication. Below are four invaluable writing tools in my toolkit.
Read MoreThe Internet has completely revolutionized our world as we know it. Everything we could possibly need is at the tip of our fingers. Whatever answer you may seek is often readily available by typing in a few key terms into a search engine like Google or a research database like PubMed. Research habits shift as new generations enter the workforce, and now many researchers and clinicians alike prefer to locate relevant studies online.
Read MoreAfter months or years of trials and research and collecting findings, many exhale a deep sigh of relief. But now, that little cloud hangs overhead with the next milestone: publishing the results. It’s not just time to share the findings with the world, but also impact society in some way, shape or form. That being said, navigating the publishing process can be daunting. It is competitive and often time consuming, both in the amount of work required from the author but also the amount of time it takes from submission to final publication.

Read MorePeople who accept science have been asking that question for years, to no appreciable effect. The lack of action has already ensured that global temperature will exceed the 2°C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement. We can still limit the rise to 3°C, but time is running out.
Read MoreAlthough the social media landscape is always evolving, one constant is that the platforms continue to grow, adding to how useful they can be for building a brand or company and communicating to an audience. As of 2019, Facebook boasts over 2.41 billion monthly active users, Twitter 145 million active daily users, LinkedIn over 660 million users, and Instagram one billion monthly users.
Read MoreNew preprint servers are popping up in droves in the academic community, allowing authors to share their research, track their downloads and citations with a unique DOI, and get community feedback all before their work is peer reviewed.
Read MoreIn the past three decades, two substantial and interrelated phenomena, namely globalization and digitalization, have been reshaping the world in an unprecedented manner. Globalization is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon resulting in more interdependence and mutual awareness among economic, political, and social units across the world (Guillén, 2001; Held, McGrew, Goldblatt, & Perraton, 1999; Steger, 2010).

Read MoreMultiple sclerosis rates are increasing globally and while the number of treatments for the disease within the global market are also growing, access to them continues to present a concerning challenge in the treatment and care of MS. While access to safe and effective MS treatments predominantly impacts low-middle resource countries, it is also a barrier to disease management in high-resource countries.
Read MoreThere is abundant evidence available in literature that proactive personality of employees positively influences their work performance (Bakker, Tims, & Derks, 2012). By mobilizing job demands and resources to synchronize them with their own needs and abilities, proactive employees positively influence their work environment and, consequently, their performance (Tims & Bakker, 2010).
