The path of a novice researcher to writing a pharmacy education paper

Abstract

In this manuscript, the author, who is a novice in paper writing, shares experiences that led to successfully crafting and having a pharmaceutical education paper accepted. The key factor was gaining an environment for consulting and having casual discussions with other authors who had published papers in the pharmaceutical education journal. Reflecting on this experience, the author summarizes five essential elements deemed necessary for paper writing. The hope is that sharing this personal example will prompt discussions with others about the crucial elements in the paper writing process. Additionally, the author aims for considerable satisfaction if the experience helps guide anyone venturing into paper writing in the future.
