About Workshop
Scientific writing is a necessary skill that must be learned by repetitive practice of reading, writing and revising. Scientific writing can take many forms such as project report or dissertation or scientific article in an academic journal. This workshop is intended to impart researchers with basic skills in writing and publishing a scientific paper in a peer reviewed journal. The workshop will help the participants to understand how to draft a scientific paper, become familiar to construct an argument in a scientific manuscript, do effective literature search and review, manage references using different software, understand authorship, plagiarism and ethics in publication. In addition, the course will provide participants an understanding of the submission process and peer review, selection of a journal and responding to reviewers comments. If participants have sufficient data to begin writing a paper, they could work on the draft during group work and exercises in the course with feedback from the faculty.
This course is ideal for Academicians, Professors, Teachers, Post Graduate and Doctoral (PhD) Students, Physicians and Medical Students, Researchers and Professionals Working in Government Sector, NGOs and Hospitals, Clinical and Health Researchers, Project Managers, Research Staff and Coordinators and Data Managers. Post Graduates, Doctoral Scholars and Medical Doctors who are currently working on their dissertation or recently completed their research work and interested to publish their research findings will greatly benefit from this course.
