Abstract

Research is one of the eight domains of a Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialist. This chapter has been written for the novice researcher as a simple “tricks of the trade” manual. It will provide a resource when planning, writing, and submitting, all manner of scholarly works. The process of writing becomes easier with each submission, but having a guide and reference is always useful to save time later in the process and ensure that pieces of information are not forgotten or omitted. Finally, the chapter describes how to collect and document your work for use in professional development and advancement.
