Scientific Writing aims to improve scientific writing skills. The seven interactive lectures teach the theoretical background and conventions of the different sections in a scientific artic-le, the nuts and bolts of the editorial process, publication ethics, and much more. Beyond that, participants will attend the English Writing portion of the course, which helps researchers learn how to write clear papers for publication in scientific journals, beginning with the smallest unit of writing, from word choice to sentence and paragraph structure up to the largest unit, the paper as a whole.
The entire Scientific Writing course will be taught in English. To maximize the effectiveness of exercises and feedback, participation is limited to 15 persons. Pre-course preparation and active participation throughout the interactive lectures and the writing class part is necessary to gain competencies and to reach the aims of the course.
