partnerships.nature.com/academiesWORKSHOP IN GETTING PUBLISHED1-day or 2-day workshopFor up to 250 early- and mid-career researchersPublishing is an integral part of the research process. However, it is not enough to simply publish research. It needs to be publishedin the appropriate journals to reach the right audience and be communicated clearly to have impact in the field. This workshop aimsto help early-and mid-career researchers learn effective publishing strategies to achieve these goals.TailoredInteractiveThe workshop content can be tailored to one of four disciplinesdepending on your needs: life sciences, physical sciences,clinical research, or social sciences.The academy includes interactive slides, as well as interactiveactivities at the end of each module to ensure participantsunderstand how to implement the presented content.You can choose from a 1-day workshop, covering 3 to 4modules, or a 2-day workshop with 7 to 8 modules.Or if you would like us to place special attention on somemodules (‘Effective Academic Writing’ for example), we canextend modules or create a 1-day agenda devoted to aparticular module.4
partnerships.nature.com/academiesMODULES: WORKSHOP IN GETTING PUBLISHED1. Introduction to Academic Publishing3. Effective Academic WritingThis is an optional module for graduate students with littlepublishing experience. Here, we discuss the importance ofpublishing to build your international reputation and establishinginternational collaborations. We then cover different journaltypes and publication models, followed by a discussion aboutopen access. Lastly, we will discuss evaluation metrics forjournals (e.g., Impact Factor), articles (e.g., Altmetrics), andauthors (e.g., H-index).This module does not focus on grammar, but rather how toclearly communicate your ideas in English. Therefore, it issuitable for all levels of English proficiency. In the first section,we discuss three cognitive learning principles: cognitiveload theory, cognitive bias, and reader expectations. Thesection gives advice on how to keep sentences concise,avoid ambiguity, and use logical sentence structure toimprove reader understanding. The second section focuseson improving readability, such as through active voice andappropriate word choice, to better engage readers. Lastly,we cover some common writing mistakes, as well asappropriate verb tense for manuscripts.2. Publication EthicsThis module covers important issues related to ethical conductin both research and writing. We first discuss acceptable andunacceptable modifications of your images. Then, we coverwhat qualifies someone to be an author on your paper andethical issues surrounding conflicts of interest, as well as how toproperly submit and/or divide your study into multiple papers.We will then cover plagiarism and how to properly paraphrase.Lastly, we will discuss the importance of transparency inreporting and sharing all the results from your study.54. Manuscript StructureThis module covers how to logically structure your manuscript.We begin by discussing strategies to make the writingprocess more efficient and then review the importance of theIntroduction. For social science attendees, this section alsoincludes how to write a clear Literature Review. We look at howto write the methodology to validate the study design and howto clearly present the findings in the figures, tables, graphs,and equations (dependent on the field of the attendees). Forphysical sciences attendees, we also review combined Results–Discussion sections. Lastly, we discuss how to convey theimpact of the study in the Discussion section and how to write astrong conclusion.
