Counting and measuring set science apart from other pursuits. Yet, techniques of communicating quantitative information are often ignored in programs on writing skills. Although 2017 marks sixty years of metrication in India, the precise conventions of the SI system (Système International d’Unités) are often violated by writers of research
papers. The session on numbers offers answers to these and similar questions:
1. How should multi-digit numbers be printed (123,000 or 123 000 or 1,23,000)?
2. Which is the recommended symbol for the litre,
L or l?
3. When should data be rounded off drastically and when not at all?
If you’ve ever experienced frustration by a journal’s insistence that you follow its exact style when formatting references, then this session is for you! In our Conquering the intricacies of citations and references webinar, we’ll show you how to manage this task more efficiently and effectively. We’ll get to answer the questions below as well as similar ones:
1. When do I use et al. in citations?
2. What is the difference between references and a bibliography?
3. How do I cite web pages and other electronic documents?
As a researcher, you are required to write not only scientific papers but also project proposals, reports, and sometimes articles for magazines. We know that good writing is not free of mistakes but its effective — the writing that gets you the results that you want. Yet, writing is not often taught as a skill that can be acquired with practice. In this session we’ll present a systematic approach to becoming a more effective writer for your scientific papers. We’ll get to answer the questions below as well as similar ones:
1. What are the characteristics of effective prose?
2. How long will it take me to be a better writer?
3. What strategies do good writers use to explain hard-to-follow concepts?
Publishing papers can be a game of snakes and ladders, but a well-prepared manuscript submitted to an appropriately chosen journal will find more ladders and fewer snakes in its path. And the game of publishing does not end with publication but continues beyond, with extra points if it is cited, features in LinkedIn, tweeted about, downloaded, or mentioned in mass media. This session seeks to explain the detailed instructions journals expect their authors to follow. We’ll get to answer the questions below as well as similar ones:
1. How do I select the right journal for my paper?
2. What are the most common reasons for a paper being rejected without a review?
3. How do I publicize my paper?
