In this episode we were joined by Prof Cathy Bowen (Lead of the Foot & Ankle Research programme at Southampton University, Chair of the Research Committee for the Royal College of Podiatry, and Editor-in-Chief for JFAR) to talk about the timeline of a journal article, from the moment you think you have an idea for one, until the moment you are reading it in black and white. How do you choose what journal to submit to? What's the deal with ethical approval? How can you maximise your chances of not getting rejected? What does the peer review process look like? All this information and more.
