Dr Jamali Qutub on Academic Publishing

We’re proud to share a new video from Dr Jamali Qutub, a doctor from our Trust, explaining the differences between e-letters, preprints, and review articles – and how each plays a role in building a research career.

In this clear and practical guide, Dr J covers:

  • Why e-letters are a great starting point for beginners
  • How preprints share research quickly and invite feedback
  • The value of review articles for showcasing expertise
  • How timelines vary between each publication type
  • Debunking the myth that preprints hurt journal acceptance

The video encourages a step-by-step approach to publishing. Starting with e-letters, moving on to preprints, and finally producing review articles. Helping researchers gain skills, confidence, and credibility along the way.

[This study found that day-service documenting practices focus on formal aspects of service members’ lives, such as behaviour, as opposed to their views or experiences. Support staff reported that they often gain a complex understanding of members’ views and experiences, but this understanding is not drawn upon when services make decisions about support.]
