Goutam acknowledges the help he received from attending several of our writing workshops including: ‘An introduction to systematic reviews’, ‘Structuring your literature review (part 1 and 2)’, ‘Plain English writing for academics’, ‘Paraphrasing the literature’, ‘Editing and proofreading’ and ‘How to write and abstract’.
