Preparation, preparation, preparation??

• In retrospect, I had no specific background nor experience in scientific research

• I did not participate in a JSM honors programme

• And yet, I got the opportunity to publish in Nature Medicine

However, having been prepared better would have saved me a lot of time and effort!

• "In the next 30 minutes, I will share my personal

experience with performing scientific research while

being a PhD-candidate. What preparations were

necessary for writing a ‘world-class’ paper? What pitfalls

did I encounter along the way and what are possible

solutions? What are the benefits and drawbacks of

performing scientific research as a student or PhD-

candidate? And how can you optimize your chances of

publishing your scientific work? With my talk, I hope to

inspire students and PhD-candidates and make them

realize that, as long as you create the right

circumstances, everyone can write a world-class paper."

• Ik ga het niet hebben over hoe je dit van A tot Z moeten doen

• Dat kun je ook op internet lezen

• Ik ga het hebben over mijn reis van begin tot eind binnen en buiten de onderzoekswereld

• Een heuze ontdekkingsreis vol nieuwe ervaringen, zowel leuk als niet leuk.

Wie ben ik?

• Rick, 27 jaar

• gepromoveerd UMCG

dd.

• aanvankelijk weinig

affiniteit met

onderzoek

• Geen JSM oid, pas in

3e jaar begonnen

(hierover later meer)

Page 40: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• Onderzoek bij

chirurgie, Dr. Go van

Dam (hoe contact

ontstaan? Na

college/mentor?

Waarom nu

interesse?)

Page 41: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• Enkele dia's (in het kort) over wat je onderzoek inhoudt

• Waarom het zo bijzonder is (en waarom jij hier bij bleef)

– nooit eerder onderzocht

– andere geloven er niet in

– jij/Go geloofde er wil in, het verschil kunnen maken - een nieuwe techniek

Page 42: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• ik begon onzeker...

• ... grote wereld van onderzoek, onbekend. Wie luisterd naar een geneeskunde student?

• Mijn eerste buitenlandse ervaring, mee met Go naar ... (italie/frankrijk?) -> "kijken hoe het is."

• Presentatie kennen zodat ik het ooit later (toekomst) zelf kan geven

Page 43: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• Presentatie desondanks een succes!

• Ik voelde me ....

• Door deze ervaring wilde ik meer.

• Ik bleef schrijven

Page 44: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• Andere 'ups' en 'downs' in de jaren van

onderzoeken beschrijven.

Doorzetten

• Iedereen vraagt zich tijdens promotie af

waar ze aan begonnen zijn...

• doorzetten!

• Ik werkte van deadline naar deadline maar

werkte alles secuur af

• niet overhaasten

• geen genoegen nemen met minder

Page 46: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

Motivatie verlies na ervaring....

• Vervelende ervaring met paper waar je

ruim 1/2 jaar aan heb gewerkt

• lange tijd onder review

• 1 zuid koreaan

• 2 maanden onder review

• plots bijna identieke artikel met auteur van

reviewer zuid koreaan

• Helemaal gehad!

gekomen

herschreven?

gewerkt?

• Hoe werk verdeeld?

• Als je tijd terug kon draaien wat zou je

anders hebben gedaan?

– JSM?

– Meer internistisch onderwerp?

– Meer/minder onderzoek?

– Tijdens/na dokters titel voorkeur?

praatje voor JSM)

Introduction bij chairman

• Dr. Rick Pleijhuis is currently working as a resident in

internal medicine in the Medical Spectrum Twente. In

January of this year, Rick finished the MD/PhD

programme of the junior scientific masterclass and

successfully defended his thesis on innovative imaging

techniques to complement breast cancer treatment. So

far, Rick has published over ten scientific articles in the

field of optical imaging and is stated as a co-author on a

world-class paper published in Nature Medicine. Today,

he will share his personal story on the ups and downs

that he encountered along the way.

Questions asked

> What would you advise to students who are still in doubt whether scientific

research is something for them?

> How important is it for students to start with scientific research right at the

beginning of their studies?

Page 56: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

Objective

• Our main objective in this symposium is to

inform and inspire PhD

students, researchers and students and to

provide them with a successful approach

to writing/publishing top papers.

Page 57: Co-author of a world-class paper written as a PhD-candidate  | Rick Pleijhuis | Symposium How To Write a World-Class Paper | CMB UMCG

• De doelgroep vrij breed: iedereen die publiceert binnen UMCG en

RUG. Met name Phd’s gaan dit interessant vinden denk ik, ook

vanwege de Elsevier workshop die er in zit. Dus we hopen dat je

een enthousiasmerend persoonlijk verhaal wilt houden over wat je

zoal tegenkomt bij het publiceren. We hebben de blauwe zaal

genomen, dus we verwachten wel veel mensen, eventueel ook uit

het land.
