Abstract
Objective: Supporting pediatric psychologists who identify as women in overcoming barriers to scientific writing is critical for the career development and advancement of pediatric psychology science priorities of the Society of Pediatric Psychology 2022-2026 Strategic Plan. The purpose of this topical review is to introduce structured writing retreats as a promising strategy for supporting scientific writing among pediatric psychologists.
Methods: Recent literature was reviewed to identify barriers to scientific writing and the impacts of structured writing retreats.
Results: Service burdens, social inequities, and environmental factors impact scientific writing productivity. Structured writing retreats are multi-day, off-campus sessions that can address barriers to writing by providing the protected time and space, supportive peer environment, and behavior change strategies critical for writing. Recommendations for faculty, mentors, and institutions to support engagement in structured writing retreats are provided.
Conclusions: This topical review is a call for leaders in pediatric psychology to champion structured writing retreats as a strategic approach to overcoming writing barriers and increasing research productivity.
