Scientific Manuscript Writing Day 1 - Getting Started & Scientific Writing PLUS Q+A

The scientific community evaluates advancement and status primarily by the number and quality of research publications a scientist has published in peer-reviewed journals. Scientists from developing countries are, however, at a disadvantage because they often experience difficulty in publishing due to a lack of writing skills and guidance in the data analysis and publication process. In an effort to develop such skills, we partnered with the Sustainable Sciences Institute to bring to you their Scientific Manuscript Writing Workshop, which is designed to provide scientists with the skills and tools they need to transform existing data into publishable material and increase the likelihood of a manuscript being accepted for publication in a reputable scientific journal.

This opportunity was delivered as a *free* week-long virtual workshop (see detailed programme below). The workshop was organised into (open) lecture sessions and (closed) tailored 1:1 tutoring sessions.
