Brief Description
This two-hour seminar is open to any student or researcher in training who are interested in learning more about scientific writing. While the seminar is specifically designed for researchers working at the interface between technology and medicine, it is of potential interest to anyone working in scientific research.
The seminar reflects why scientists should publish. It then offers a historical framing to the development of scientific publications that eventually brings the so-called IMRAD structure commonly used in modern scientific papers. It then provides information about the type of publications and the most common editorial rules. Last, each element of a scientific paper is presented in detail, with useful, practical information on the structure, the content, the formal elements, and some additional advice specific to interdisciplinary publications. The seminar then describes the editorial process, reflects on how writing relates to the research project, and provides some information about open-access publishing.
