Improve your writing and avoid getting that annoying "We regret to inform you that your submission was not accepted..." letter.

Prerequisites

Prior experience from writing at least one or two research papers. Not suitable for graduate students who just started out (and I mean it).

Organization

Yet another course on how to improve your scientific writing. This one focuses on the publication process and how to improve the details of your writing to help you get published. The course convers most aspects of the scientific manuscript, from title to references.
