Publishing in Scientific Journals

Publishing of scientific results is often seen as a necessary evil. After the fruits of endless hours in the lab have been painfully condensed into a paper, it disappears in the black box of the online submission system of a journal, and is most likely rejected within days. But as in today’s scientific environment recognition, grants and promotions are increasingly linked to publications in a few high impact journals, it has become essential to become a savvy navigator of the publication process.

This 2-day-course is designed to make the world of scientific journals, especially high impact journals, more transparent and to help the participants to avoid common pitfalls of scientific writing. Topics covered will include

  • what journals look for
  • tips for writing for high impact journals
  • the parts of a scientific paper and how to compose them
  • how to deal with (negative) feedback.

 

The course will include many practical exercises designed to deepen the
understanding of the material covered.

The course language will be English.

The course trainer is Dr. Markus Elsner, senior editor at Nature Biotechnology. Markus did his graduate work at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany, and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, where he worked on characterizing protein dynamics in living cells. In his postdoctoral studies at the National Institutes of Health, USA, he investigated the mechanisms of lipid and protein sorting during membrane transport events. He joined Nature Biotechnology in 2008.

The course is targeted to bona fide graduates students, postdoctorals, junior teamleaders in research projects in bio-medicine and associated research areas. Attendees should bring their laptops to the course.
