Places are still available on the one day course for new writers to be held at the BDA on Tuesday 8 September 2015. The course, run by the British Dental Editors' Forum and sponsored by the BDJ, will include how to write and submit papers and articles to peer reviewed journals; the peer review process, publication ethics, plagiarism, how to follow journal guidelines and the increasing role of social media in the publishing process.

The cost is £40 per person which includes lunch, and participants will be welcome to stay on into the early evening for a reception and presentation of the BDIA-sponsored Young Communicator of the Year Award.

Further details are available by emailing Stephen Hancocks, Editor-in-Chief, BDJ on s.hancocks@bda.org.
