Writing Lab – Writing Scientific Publications in the Life and Natural Sciences

Veranstaltungsdaten

A critical aspect of the scientific process is the presentation of new results in scientific journals to share these findings with the scientific community. This course gives a practical introduction into writing scientific publications in the life and natural sciences for doctoral candidates writing their first publication. Based on their own research project, the participants develop an outline and exercise writing. The structure of a scientific manuscript is explained and methods are provided how to successfully write manuscripts. The course furthermore gives "behind the scene" insights into the publishing process.
