Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to do the following:
Understand medical writing conventions;
Write a well-structured manuscript and a convincing cover letter;
Remedy the most common errors in medical writing (grammar, spelling and punctuation);
Present numbers correctly;
Appreciate the importance of effective figures and tables;
Understand editorial procedures and the publication process.
Content
This course is in two parts. Part I is a half-day session for all participants. The emphasis here is on
how to avoid the most common errors of grammar and usage when writing papers in English, how
to prepare effective illustrations, and how to provide what editors like to receive. The
participants then split into two groups and attend either the Tuesday and Wednesday or the
Thursday and Friday full-day sessions. Part II focuses on writing clearly, correctly and concisely for
an international audience, style and vocabulary, punctuation, the IMRAD structure, presentation of
numbers, the publication process and the cover letter.
Participants: PhD students, and, if there are any vacant places, other researchers, who are writing
for publication in life-science journals.
Language
English
Form: Presentations, exercises, discussions, and evaluation of texts written by participants.
NOTE: All participants must bring eight copies of a 1–3 page text they have written in English.
This should not have been professionally edited.
ECTS credits: 3.1
