Expressed barriers to writing for publication include lack of time, competing demands, anxiety about writing and a lack of knowledge about the submission process. These limitations can be magnified for practitioners in non-university environments in which there are fewer incentives or expectations regarding academic publication productivity. However, as members of professional disciplines, practitioners have both the responsibility and, oftentimes, the insights to make valuable contributions to the professional literature. Collaborative writing groups can be a useful intervention to overcome barriers, provide the necessary skills and encouragement as well as produce publications and conference presentations that make worthy additions to the professional body of knowledge. This article discusses the evolution and outcomes of writing groups at Lehigh Valley Health Network and describes how this strategy can be adopted by other academic community hospitals to promote professional development and publication.
发表障碍包括缺乏时间、竞争需求、写作焦虑以及对提交过程的不了解。对于非大学环境中的从业者来说，这些限制可能会更加严重，因为他们在学术出版方面的激励措施或期望较少。然而，作为专业学科的成员，从业者既有责任，也常常有洞察力，可以为专业文献做出有价值的贡献。协作写作小组是克服障碍、提供必要技能和鼓励以及发表会议演讲的有效方法，这些演讲可以为专业知识库做出有价值的补充。本文讨论了利哈伊谷卫生网络写作小组的演变和成果，并描述了其他学术社区医院如何采用这种策略来促进专业发展和发表。
