(First announcement)
Scientific papers, which act as the central means of communication for researchers in connection with their community, are essential for the progress of scientific development. Indeed, the value of clear and effective communication within the scientific community through the dialogue of scientific journals has never been more apparent as local Chinese research and publications are increasingly cited on an international scale. However, in considering research aimed at international journals, reviewers are also becoming more and more concerned with not only the high quality of the submission's scientific content, but also the quality of its writing. As the competition increases, to secure publication in a high-ranking journal only the most succinct, language-sufficient, and logically crafted articles will suffice.
To match the demand, the
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology (JIPB) and
Tsinghua University will jointly hold a workshop on scientific writing as a part of a series of workshops held by JIPB. The speakers, Prof. William J. Lucas from California University, Davis, and Prof. Leon V. Kochian from Cornell University, are renowned for their passion for teaching young students and for their highly informative speeches. They will outline both the rules of scientific writing and the workflows of high-ranking international journals to allow the audience to gain clear insight into the lengthy process of scientific paper writing, then help teach students how to plan and prepare accordingly.
All plant biology researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students and editorial staff are welcome to join in the workshop and each audience member will receive a certificate at the end of the workshop commemorating their participation. The maximum workshop is limited to 150 attendees so please reserve your seats early!
