The quantity and quality of published research from Nepal, though improving, are low. Among other factors, lack of knowledge about scientific writing is an important contributor. Thus, with the objective of improving knowledge about scientific writing, a one-day workshop was conducted, entitled, "SciPub-019-Getting your article published in scientific journals".
The knowledge and attitude of participants were evaluated both before and immediately after the workshop.
Thirty-three individuals participated with most (48.5%) being pharmacists, followed closely by doctors. 66.7% of the participants were males and 72.7% of participants had published one article as of the workshop date while the rest had published two. On specific questions, there was a significant difference between the responses regarding the abstract being the first part of the paper to be written, before and after the workshop. There was also a significant difference between the overall responses of the participants.
Improvement in the knowledge of the participants about scientific writing and publication was noted. Workshops of similar nature should be regularly conducted to improve the knowledge of new researchers about scientific writing.
尼泊尔发表的研究数量和质量虽在提高，但仍较低。在诸多因素中，缺乏科学写作知识是一个重要因素。因此，为提高对科学写作的认识，举办了一次为期一天的研讨会，题为“SciPub - 019 - 在科学期刊上发表你的文章”。
在研讨会前后对参与者的知识和态度进行评估。
33人参加，其中大多数（48.5%）是药剂师，其次是医生。66.7%的参与者为男性，截至研讨会当天，72.7%的参与者已发表过一篇文章，其余发表过两篇。在关于摘要是否是论文撰写的第一部分这一具体问题上，研讨会前后参与者的回答存在显著差异。参与者的总体回答也存在显著差异。
注意到参与者在科学写作和发表方面的知识有所提高。应定期举办类似性质的研讨会，以提高新研究人员对科学写作的认识。
