Dr Anna Volkmer - Writing a paper with lots of co-authors

Dr Anna Volkmer, narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Success in academia if often measured in papers. And the best papers seem to be those with about a million authors on them. Writing anything down on paper seems daunting enough without having to share it with a bunch of others who are going to give their judgement (using the edit and comment function on word – which makes everything a horrifying red). And this is all before you even submit anything to the dreaded journal reviewers. So, how does one manage this as a lowly ECR? Over the years Anna has developed a couple of tricks that she finds useful - and in this blog she shares them (it would be great to hear yours too - add them to the comments).
