Advanced Scientific Writing (2024)

Qualifizierungsangebot für Lebenswissenschaftler:innen der MHH

Writing scientific manuscripts is rewarding but can also turn out to be a frustrating task, even for experienced authors. The workshop focuses on improving the skills of writing texts and generating figures. An important part is to get acquainted with the “Word Flow” method of writing which aims at making writing faster and less frustrating. The second focus lies on scientific figures. Good and bad examples will be shown and will be reviewed by the participants. Writing reviews and being the corresponding author are likely tasks of the more experienced scientist. We will address both topics in the training. Finally, we will imbed your questions that you will bring along into the workshop.

This workshop is designed for scientists from the Life Sciences who have already gained writing experience having written their PhD/MD theses or papers.

Please note:

• Only advanced academic writers will be able to take part! Please refer to Scientific Writing (basic) for beginner levels.
• All participants will be asked to do some limited preparatory work before the course begins. Details will be communicated in an email to all registered participants three or four weeks before the workshop.
