Course Description

This four-session, non-credit writing-intensive online workshop is designed for all scientists, especially those starting out, who plan to publish results of their work in scientific journals. Participants will write a draft of a research paper based on data generated from their current or previous study for publication in a peer-reviewed science journal.

This workshop is designed to help you be successful in writing a rough draft of your scientific paper. As a participant  in this workshop, you will work in real time on key aspects of organizing your scientific paper. You will write your introduction and discussion, while receiving guidance for each step along the way. We will walk through designing your actual tables and figures, and how to write a clear and concise abstract and cover letter for submission to a science journal. You will receive step-by-step guidance on writing your materials and methods and results sections.  You will learn about the publication process from a journal editor’s perspective, along with how to choose the right journal for your paper, and how to navigate peer review.
