Course:

The goal of the course is to help improve a scientific article’s accessibility and impact. Participants will learn important writing tips and receive feedback from a scientific editor, with a focus on the most crucial parts of a manuscript. On day one, the instructor will provide an overview of the publication landscape and the reasoning behind those first editorial decisions. There will also be interactive activities such as "choose the best title" to "make an editorial decision." On day two, theory will be put into practice. In individual meetings, the instructor and participant will discuss the participant’s abstracts or cover letter.

Abstracts and cover letters should be sent to the instructor latest by 07.10.2022.
