EASE School for Manuscript Editors and Academic Authors
This four-session online training course has been designed to help researchers, academics, technical writers and copy editors who edit technical documents to make them more acceptable to journal editors and publishers, less likely to be desk-rejected, and once accepted, be published ahead of other manuscripts.
This course is particularly suitable for early-career researchers and manuscript editors but will benefit all those involved in writing and editing scientific documents irrespective of the level of experience and expertise.
The 12-hour course is held once a week spread over four weeks, with two topics covered each week over 3 hours:
- Publishing in high-impact-factor journals: an overview
- Handling quantitative expressions in running text
- Organising numerical data into reader-friendly tables
- Preparing impactful charts, graphs and other illustrations
- Mastering the minutiae of citations and references
- Learning to be a more effective academic writer
- Responding to reviewers’ comments and avoiding plagiarism
- Putting finishing touches to your written work.
This course was held in March 2023. We expect to repeat the course in the future, if you would like to be notified of the dates once they are set, please register your interest via the link below.
