Events

Researchers are writers. We communicate our results via articles, discuss the findings of others in reviews and use the literature as an immortal record of science from both past and contemporary research, therefore developing our writing skills must be given the same time and dedication as other phases of the research process.

Manuscripts must be clear and concise and written in a manner that is appropriate for that particular style of document. This workshop covers how to structure an original research paper, designing and planning your article, how to articulate your argument, what to highlight, good practice and what to avoid. The session will cover language, style and tone, using selected examples from the existing literature.

It includes a set of resources that participants can explore in their own time and consists of short lectures, discussions, individual exercises and anecdotes from the instructor’s own experience of writing and publishing articles.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this workshop researchers will have:

• understand what is expected of them regarding writing style and structure
• analysed and discussed examples of clear, concise scientific writing
• been given a range of resources to explore in their own time.

Target audience

Postgraduate researchers at all stages and from all disciplines.
