Carol Morris, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, is the first Black woman to serve as President of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society and the JRGOS liaison to Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (CORR). Dr. Morris provided a structured approach to publishing in a peer-reviewed journal at the JRGOS 2025 Annual Resident and Medical Student Research Competition.

Dr. Morris provided the follow recommendations:

Start with the Right Mindset

Consider reaching out to mentors or editorial teams for guidance, resources, and support. Begin by writing the Results section first— anchoring the paper and organizing thoughts.

Key Steps to Writing a Scientific Article

  • Results – Draft tables and organize findings first

  • Materials & Methods – Clearly describe study design and approach

  • Introduction – Provide context and define research question

  • Discussion – Interpret findings and explain their significance

Improve Your Writing Skills

  • Write a little each day – practice improves speed and quality

  • Engage in journal clubs and critique papers like an editor

  • Co-author chapters and review articles for additional practice

Tips for Getting Published

  • Choose the right journal and follow submission guidelines

  • Seek feedback from a mentor or senior author

  • Partner with a statistician for data accuracy

  • Utilize editorial support and online writing tools

In summary, Dr. Morris emphasized that abstracts are valuable, but a full peer-reviewed manuscript is the ultimate goal to transform research into a published article advancing knowledge in the field!
