CONTENT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

Scientific paper writing is one of the essential elements in the academic arena globally. The purpose of scientific writing is to convey important findings from experiments and scientific analysis to a wider audience for the improvement of science and technology. However, lack of understanding on the scientific paper writing skills and manuscript publishing procedures have always resulted in paper rejection by the editors, especially from the journals of high impact. In this open short course, the instructors will introduce several effective approaches in preparing scientific & review papers, as well as useful tips to respond to the reviewers’ comments.
