About the workshop
Success in modern science demands intellectual brilliance, hard work and creative inspiration. But the most successful scientists today also know how to communicate their ideas clearly and powerfully. What does it take to produce research papers of the highest quality suitable for the world’s top journals? With examples from a wide range of disciplines and journals you‘ll examine the structure of scientific papers, the techniques for presenting clear logical arguments and the skills needed to write and edit concise, emphatic sentences.
