The Art of Scientific Writing

Presented by: Dr Evan Atlantis

Target Audience: Research students at any point in their candidature

Description:

By the end of the workshop you will be able to demonstrate knowledge on the fundamentals of scientific writing for journals. The main purpose of the session is to improve your understanding about how to write specific sections and paragraphs in a way that communicates more effectively to the general reader (based on my experience and understanding of conventions). The session will also aim to improve your understanding about how to submit a paper to a journal including the cover letter, manuscript requirements, authorship order, conflicts and other declarations etc.
