Converting oral presentations into publishable articles

Article Abstract:

Oral presentations can be converted into publishable articles if authors are aware of the different requirements for each media. There is a greater freedom of expression allowed for oral presentations which often include jargon, redundancies, dogmatic presentation and problematic sentences. These same elements that capture an oral audience's attention will distract a written audience and so must be removed from the written product. Attention must be paid to sentence structure, process, form, proper language and focus. Visual media can also be converted through explanations in the text.

Families will provide some of the solutions, such as increased home care for the ill and elderly, and will be required to make many lifestyle changes. Empowerment of all family members will be part of a successful restructuring to meet new demands.
