Publications are important for the development of your research career and recognition of your research.  This blended course will provide guidance on producing a scientific paper and the reviewing process. It will also allow you to practice writing, peer review and to receive feedback.

This blended course has pre-course activities to complete in your own time and course activities to engage with during the live course: you will receive the credit by participating in all pre-course and course activities.

Pre-course activities (duration about 60  mins) will prepare you for the live session. Live sessions are available on different dates as online interaction or as an in-person workshop (both 3hrs).

The live course will support you in clarifying the learning and working in small groups to receive/give peer-feedback on the tasks you completed.

This course is open to Research Degree Students, Postdocs & Research Fellows from the following disciplines: Medicine, Life Sciences and Professional Development.
