The Cambridge Orthopaedic Writing Prize

The Cambridge Orthopaedic Writing Prize, created to allow freedom of written expression.

The Cambridge Orthopaedic Writing Prize, created to allow freedom of written expression and to encourage trainees, authors, writers – call them what you will – to have fun, to play with their language and, at the same time, to compete. The end game, of course, is for the quality of scientific submissions to improve; for entrants to realise that you can influence a reviewer’s judgment simply by improving the language and presentation of submitted research. There are no prizes for hopeless complexity. How can one expect a reviewer to focus on a paper that is badly written? Not a hope. Reviewers are human, too.
