多年教學下來，蔡醫師發現學員最常卡在這六個地方，合起來也是他對整個發表過程的理解。這不是一關接一關的樓梯：你以為是圖表的問題，常常其實是題目或研究設計需要再想一想，退回前面本來就是工作的一部分。不管你卡在哪裡，都可以來問蔡醫師。
把臨床上看到的問題，變成一個回答得了、在你的工作環境做得到的問題。
選一個配合你的資料與時間的設計，並在開始之前就決定好結果指標。
學會初學者用得上的工具，用你能重複、也說得清楚的方式分析資料。
做出審稿人一眼就看懂的圖表，圖說本身就能獨立說明。
依照目標期刊的結構與格式寫出論文。
投稿、仔細讀審稿人的意見，並回覆每一則意見。
以文字訊息為主，所以能配合值班與輪班。研究準備好了，就可以開始。
沒有固定梯次，也沒有固定的上課時間。有空就做，卡住就問。
卡住就寫，順序不拘，不用先選什麼或勾什麼。蔡醫師以文字回覆，原則上一個工作天內。
你的進度頁把六個地方畫成一張地圖，連到課程資源，並保存你的投稿與審稿紀錄。
記下期刊、日期、結果與修改輪數，從初稿到決定的整段路都在同一個地方。
我們會請你填一份簡短的背景資料。另外，你可以選擇是否讓去識別化的資料，用來研究醫師在發表路上最常卡在哪裡。不同意的話，你得到的指導完全一樣。

Research mentoring for residents, fellows and early-career attending physicians who want to do research and have not yet published. You work at your own pace, ask by message whenever you are stuck, and get a written reply from Dr. Tsai, a radiologist who has taught clinicians research methods and writing for more than a decade.
Mentor: Dr. I-Chen Tsai · The six places people get stuck · Asynchronous messaging
Dr. I-Chen Tsai · InnovaRad
After many years of teaching, Dr. Tsai has found that these are the six places where participants most often get stuck. Together they are his picture of the whole publication process. It is not a staircase: what feels like a problem with a figure is often a question or a design that needs another look, and going back is part of the work. Ask Dr. Tsai from wherever you are.
Turn a problem you see in practice into a question that can be answered and is feasible where you work.
Choose a design that fits your data and your time, and decide the outcomes before you start.
Learn the tools a beginner can use, and analyze the data in a way you can repeat and explain.
Make figures and tables that a reviewer understands at a glance, with legends that stand on their own.
Write the paper in the structure and format of your target journal.
Submit, read the reviewers carefully, and answer every comment.
It is built around written messages, so it fits around call schedules and shifts. You can start when a project is ready.
There are no fixed cohorts and no meeting times. Work when you can, and ask when you are stuck.
Write whenever you are stuck, in any order. There is nothing to pick or tick. Dr. Tsai replies in writing, in principle within one working day.
Your progress page lays out the six places as a map with links to the course resources, and keeps your submission and review record.
Log the journal, the date, the outcome and the number of revision rounds, so the whole path from first draft to decision is in one place.
We ask for a short background profile. Separately, you can choose to let de-identified data be used to study where physicians get stuck on the way to publication. If you decline, you receive the same mentoring.
