Workshop Description

Scientific writing is a central part of the scientific process as the ability to effectively communicate your research findings is a key requirement for success. Professional scientists worldwide are evaluated by the quantity and quality of articles they publish, and many PG students are now required to write and publish at least one paper before they graduate. Receiving a solid foundation in scientific writing is therefore of utmost importance. In this workshop, I will provide a simple guide to scientific writing, and break down the process of writing and publishing a scientific article into easily understandable steps. I will start by describing the IMRAD (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion) system of formatting scientific manuscripts and then we shall look in more detail at the specific formatting requirements of different journals.
