Increasing the visibility and impact of your research
Getting your research seen, read, and appreciated is becoming increasingly important. Getting published is only the first step in getting yourself and your research noticed. In this talk, Shriyaa Mittal will share valuable tips and facts around publishing that researchers can use to increase the visibility and impact of their research and raise their profile internationally.
How to start writing your paper
Well-organized and clearly written papers are key to communication of scientific ideas. Readers should be excited by the title and abstract, drawn into the topic by the introduction, and appreciative of the wider significance after reading the discussion. There are many ways to approach writing and several different structures that can be used. In this talk, Shriyaa Mittal will provide strategies to begin drafting your paper and discuss common mistakes to avoid.
