The Importance of Clear Scientific Writing |
| |
Universities around the world have become quite effective at training and preparing students, postdocs,
and faculty for careers in science and medicine. Extensive effort and many years are devoted to becoming an
expert in a specific discipline. However, one often neglected area of training that plays a critical role
in determining the success of any scientist or clinician is scientific writing.
|
| | |
| |
Publication of research results is the global measure used by all disciplines to gauge a scientist’s level
of success. Clear and concise communication is the essence of scientific and medical publishing. Without
clear writing, your results, ideas, and goals can be easily lost or confused by readers. Gifted scientists
and clinicians may remain unrecognized if their work is not clearly understood by their peers. Unfortunately,
the important skill of clear and concise writing often is expected to be learned through trial and error.

A Workshop Dedicated to Scientific Writing |
| |
Our scientific writing workshop is designed to improve your expertise and confidence in preparing your research
manuscripts for publication in top international journals. Our workshop helps investigators at every career
level objectively evaluate their current skill level, determine their strengths and weaknesses, and focus their
efforts on improving every aspect of a well-written manuscript.
|
| | |
| |
We help researchers establish the appropriate point-of-view to effectively communicate their ideas, experiments,
results, and conclusions. Workshop participants learn all of the critical components of a manuscript that is clearly
written and ready for publication. We discuss in depth why each component is needed as well as how to structure
every manuscript section.
|
| | |
| |
The goals of our workshop are to help participants: |
| |
Approach scientific writing processes and tasks with optimism and energy.
|
| |
Gain competence and confidence in preparing scientific documents.
|
| |
Become better informed about taking a manuscript from inception to publication.
|
| | |
| |
Who Should Attend |
