Writing-up research findings is a fundamental requirement for scientific
success. This workshop enables scientists to communicate their research
clearly and effectively in a Research Article.
Participants learn how to:
- Apply five key principles of scientific writing.
- Target their publication to a specific audience by “framing” their research story for increased impact.
- Construct a memorable “take-home message” by connecting all parts of the paper in a flowing narrative.
- Use the writing process to guide & understand their own research.
- Overcome writer’s block by combatting perfectionism and procrastination.
