Study Findings on Nursing Published by Researchers at Monash University (Transforming researchers into writers through a series of semi-structured writing retreats: a mixed methods study).

A study conducted by researchers at Monash University evaluated the effectiveness of semi-structured writing retreats in improving research publication quantity and quality for nursing and midwifery academics and research students. The retreats were found to be highly valued by participants, providing a collaborative environment and dedicated time for writing. The study resulted in 60 published publications out of the planned 81, with the remaining publications either under review, not yet submitted, or abandoned. The findings suggest that these retreats are a valuable investment, offering protected time to write, expert peer review, and networking opportunities for researchers in the field.
