| Content | Communicating research results in international peer-review journals is a critical aspect of scientific education and work. Preparing manuscripts for publication is a key skill acquired during PhD training. Concise writing and careful journal consideration greatly increases the chance of successful academic publishing. This workshop provides background information and training on academic writing in the Health Sciences. Basic and advanced knowledge and skills that are critical for successfully and concisely presenting and disseminating research in international peer-reviewed scientific journals will be discussed and feedback on current manuscripts will be provided. Phase I will provide a general overview over the publication process, the “target journal”, the presentation of data, etc. In phase II each PhD candidate works on his/her manuscript. Every session will focus on a specific section (introduction, methods, discussion) or on special issues (submission of manuscript, review, etc.). |
| Learning objectives | At the end of this workshop participants will understand critical issues of academic manuscript preparation. They will learn concise scientific writing skills and be familiar with important resources for successful scientific publishing. Participants will prepare a manuscript on their research for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal. |
