"Knowing what to write, how to write it, how to assess my work, how to edit it, how to draw good figures, all of it, really!"

A member who joined last week:

"I found the [Journal Publication] formula really energizing and de-mystifying. It helped me to get unstuck with a paper I've been struggling with.

I have more conscious control over the process now using the formula!"

Love starting my day with reading feedback!
