ORIwrite — Guidelines for writing your research paper
ORIwrite™
Guidelines for writing your research paper
ORIwrite is a structured checklist and project tracker for students, registrars, fellows, and collaborators writing research papers with the Orthopaedic Research Institute. It captures the conventions Professor Murrell has used to supervise hundreds of papers and theses, and turns them into a single page that walks you through each stage of drafting.
Access is by request only
ORIwrite is for use by people Professor Murrell has authorised. To request an access code, email Linda Dodd at Linda.Dodd@health.nsw.gov.au with your name, role, and the project you’re working on. Linda will reply with the code, or pre-approve your email so you don’t need a code at all.
What ORIwrite does
- Captures your research questions, study population, and outcome measures in a one-page summary before you start drafting prose
- Walks you through the recommended drafting order: Aims → Methods → Results → Introduction → Discussion → Abstract → Title
- Saves your progress automatically across devices — log in with your email and pick up where you left off
- Lets you upload drafts (with a “first draft” / “revised draft” tag so changes are easy to spot)
- Provides a copy-paste prompt for AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) so their suggestions match these conventions
- Tracks where each paper has been submitted — university, conferences, journals — with the rules of submission built in
- One-click email to request an appointment with Professor Murrell through Linda, or to notify him when work is ready for review
Who it’s for
Students, registrars, fellows, and research collaborators of the Orthopaedic Research Institute at St George Hospital Campus, University of New South Wales.
