This topic is essential for the Quality Forum because even experienced improvement science researchers, at times, struggle to publish their work. In part, the problem is that the field is relatively young, and the community is still working through the best approach for representing the work in the form of scholarly publications. During this session, we will describe the results of our scoping review study on effective (and less effective) writing styles for improvement science. We will also describe findings related to common pitfalls and strengths in project design and execution. Participants at all levels of experience will not want to miss this high-yield session.
