Writing workshops in Nepal

international, open access, Publishing, Training, writing Edwin van Teijlingen

Yesterday and today we offered sessions on academic writing and publishing at two different higher education institutions in Kathmandu.  Yesterday we run a session for staff and postgraduate students at Tribhuvan University, in the Department of Health, Physical & Population Education.  Staff in the Department of Health, Physical & Population Education are our Nepali key collaborators in a THET-funded project aiming to improve mental health training in community-based maternity care providers in the south of Nepal. 

Today’s workshop was held at Manmahon Memorial Institute of Health Sciences (MMIHS). BU’s Faculty of Health & Social Sciences has been running joint research projects with MMIHS for the past three or four years.  The sessions are jointly run with BU’s Visiting Professor Padam Simkhada, who is based at Liverpool John Moores University.  These workshops are capacity-building among academics and students in Nepal. 

Our sessions are based on our experience in academic writing as well as that of acting as peer reviewers and journal editors.  Our sessions are also linked to some of the papers we have published ourselves on the process of academic writing. [1-8]  Most of these publications on publishing are in Open Access journals.  Hence papers are freely available anybody in Nepal, and elsewhere in the world, of course.
