The “Writing and Reviewing for Journals” courses and workshops focus on skills for developing abstracts and manuscripts for submission to life sciences journals, working with editors, reviewers and copy editors on manuscript review and editing, and serving as a reviewer for journal manuscripts.
Students work with experienced researchers in their general field, getting expert feedback on their written work. Students also gain skills as reviewers, providing feedback for other students in their small groups.
