Writing is an art. To communicate effectively, you need to write well. The publication of scientific articles is a cornerstone of a research career. The main objective of this lab is to present to the attendees the main topics of the writing and publishing process. The formula adopted is unique and has helped PhD students, postdocs fellows and young professors from several countries in developing a simple and effective writing method to structure their thinking, communicate research results, organize discussions with co-authors (including their supervisors), and instruct future students.
The actual course follows several formats, from semester-long to intensive two-week long. Over the course of the workshops, attendees learn how to deal with writer's block, how to write the main sections of an article and the letter to the editor, how to improve your English writing skills, and more. They also learn more about the peer review process. Together, these skills help them to write better scientific papers and increase the chances of having their papers published. The aim of this active lab is to present the main topics of the course, the idea behind the teaching methodology and the various formats this course can follow.
