ABSTRACT
There is an ever-increasing expectation on trainees and junior doctors to publish more. Not all doctors are fortunate enough to participate in and publish high-quality original research. This paper provides some practical tips to trainee doctors, who are novice researchers and who have few or no published papers, on how to publish (not how to write) non-research papers. Although we acknowledge that not all these tips may be relevant to all trainees aspiring to publish, we hope that some of these tips will be applicable to most trainees.
