Aim and content
Learning objectives
The aim is to give an understanding of the requirements to have a scientific paper or abstract published in the scientific press and to give practice in developing the writing skills to meet these requirements.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
a. Understand the functions of the different sections of a scientific paper.
b. Use the correct English tenses for each of the sections of their paper.
c. Describe their methodology concisely and accurately.
d. Present their scientific results in the optimum manner as tables and figures.
e. Compare their results in relation to previously published information and be able to write a concise conclusion to their work.
Content
The course consists of interactive lectures, exercises in writing and group discussion sessions to critique published abstracts. The topics include: practical exercises in writing abstracts, writing an introduction, describing methodology, presenting data in tables and figures, writing a summary of a participant’s project and getting a list of references in the required style. There are group discussions on what makes a good (and bad) paper or abstract.
It is preferable, but not essential, that participants have written a conference abstract before attending the course. Participants should bring with them an example of a well written an informative paper in their field and be able to give reasons for its selection.
Participants
The target group will be PhD students within pharmaceutical sciences.
