    Objectives

    The objective of this course is to provide initial training to postgraduate students on the process of writing, submitting and publishing scientific works, focusing mainly on the publication of scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals.

    It is mainly aimed at first-year doctoral students in natural sciences but can also be taken by other postgraduate students.

    The specific objectives are to introduce the students to the process of writing and publishing scientific works, addressing the following topics:

    types of articles and other scientific publications; types of journals and modalities of publication;

     

    At the end of the course, students are expected to have the knowledge and skills to begin developing autonomous work on structuring and beginning to write scientific articles.

    • how to start writing an article;
    • the parts of an article and what they should contain;
    • tables and figures in a paper;
    • bibliography search and citation;
    • the process of submission of a manuscript;
    • revision of manuscripts for final acceptance.

    At the end of the course, students are expected to have the knowledge and skills to begin developing autonomous work on structuring and beginning to write scientific articles.

    This course is available in two versions:

    Option 1 – Short version: first two and a half days, 18 hours total; Option 2 – Full version: all five days, 36 hours total.

     

    Directed to: PhD students in Doctoral programmes at CIÊNCIAS and others.

    Participants must be present at 85% of the contact hours and actively participate in all activities.

    This course may have a correspondence in terms of credits toward PhD programmes at CIÊNCIAS or programmes jointly offered by CIÊNCIAS and partner institutions, with 6–7 hours of contact time per ECT, depending on specific requirements. For these students, in addition to the exercises completed during the week, submission of a written report after the course is mandatory. The specific exercise and date of final submission of the report for students following Option 1 or Option 2 will be explained during the course. In Option 2, for programmes with fewer contact hours per ECT (6h/ECT), students must complete an additional assignment (a summary report). These reports are also recommended for other PhD students seeking recognition of the course by their institutions.

    Minimum requirements: Degree in biology or related fields.
