Reflections: Lessons Learned from the Recent AACE-Sponsored Scientific Writing Workshop

Abstract

Scientific writing is an important skill for cancer researchers. The training and mentoring of researchers in their early careers can positively impact both their short- and long-term goals in sharing science and consequently improving cancer care for their societies. In this reflection, we outline top ten lessons that we learned from the scientific writing workshop held in September and November 2021 by the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE). We hope that this reflection might inform early-career cancer researchers about the importance of writing in science and strengthen the skills they need to develop in order to get their research published.
