Writing a critical commentary

Abstract

Although typical journal publications take the form of research articles, there are other avenues to publishing that might help with building up your CV or immersing yourself in research. I recently wrote a critical commentary after coming across an article that I had some objections towards. The process was both interesting and educational, and commentaries can be an important step in facilitating dialogues between researchers. Here, I have summarised my hints and tips to help others who might consider this route to publishing.
