THE Scientific Paper Seminar is a two-day writing workshop exploring the techniques for producing papers of the highest quality for the world's top journals. The workshop examines the structure of scientific papers, the techniques for presenting clear logical arguments and the skills needed to write and edit concise, emphatic sentences.
Instructors Mark Buchanan and Justin Mullins are writers with more than thirty years' combined experience in science communication. We've created the workshop around a balance of lectures and intensive exercises for the participants, as we believe practice is an essential part of learning.
We can travel to your institution to give the workshop or you can sign up for our next pre-arranged workshop which we are planning in the autumn of 2011
Recent clients include:
Languages of Emotion Cluster of Excellence
Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
League of European Research Universities
Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law
...and many others. We'd be happy to put you in contact with our clients if you'd like an independent assessment of the workshop.
