About This Course
The delightful end of every research process is to publish the findings to the relevant audience. This audience varies from the scientific community to the general public. Accordingly, scientific writing products vary from scientific papers to research publications and summary reports.
Scientific writing is a research skill many researchers struggle with. As a result, many researchers and analysts who are well able to conduct quality research struggle to publish their findings. Yet, research publication is an important measurement for evaluation, recognition and promotion of researchers, as well as for impact in the society.
The key objectives of this course are to inspire and capacitate researchers to succeed in scientific writing for diverse audience. They will learn how to write a strong literature review, detailed methodology section, concise results section and a corresponding discussion section.
