Sort out scientific writing

- a Two-day workshop in PCAP!

Clear, concise and effective writing is crucial for successful communication. The first step towards success is to explore the characteristics of scientific writing and to understand the rationale behind them. Based on examples from participants’ own work, we’ll look at what to do—and what not to do—to make writing easier, more effective and compelling. We will also look at how to build up an article, what to put in the various sections, and how to handle the grammar and punctuation commonly used in articles. Both review and research articles will be considered.  We’ll end with tips on how to revise your own writing.  

Most of the material will be based on participants’ own work, so writing examples, from all participants, should be sent to Carol approx. 3 weeks before the workshop day. Mistake themes’ will be identified, we’ll talk about how to avoid the mistakes and do some practice exercises. Lastly, participants will correct their own work in plenum. The practice exercises will be based on published articles relevant to the research area.
